Aerial Bundled Conductor (ABC) Cables

MV Aerial Bundled Conductor (ABC) Cables

Aerial bundled cables are mainly used for secondary overhead lines on poles or as feeders to residential

premises.

Basic design to IEC 60502 / AS/NZS 3599-1 standards

aluminium conductor cables

1x75Ohm RG59 Coaxial Cable

Phase Conductor : Circular compacted stranded H68 aluminium to BS2627.

Conductor Screen:Extruded semi-conductive layer.

Insulation:XLPE.

Insulation Screen:Extruded semi-conductive layer.

metallic Screen(optional):Copper wire screen or copper tape screen.

Separator:Semi-conductive swellable tape.

Outer Sheath:HDPE.

Support Conductor:Galvanized steel wires.

Assembly:Three XLPE insulated screened cores are bundled around the galvanized steel wires in a right hand lay.
