Areal Bundled Cables
(ABC)
600 / 1000 VOLTS
This type of cables are made from Aluminum Conductor (H14) insulated by Weather-Resistant XLPE +2.5% Carbon Black insulation for single core and for multi cores, the insulated phases are assambled together with one neutral (messenger) of All Aluminum Conductors (H14), Aluminum-Alloy Conductors (AAAC), Aluminum Conductors, Steel-Reinforced (ACSR), or Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AW). The neutral conductor may be bare or covered with an extruded Weather-Resistant XLPE + 2.5% Carbon Black insulation
They are used for secondary over head lines on poles or as feeders to Residential premises. The use of these cables is limited to circuits, not exceeding 600 volts phase-to-phase to a normal temperature rating of the service conductor temperature of 90 °C.
Extruded High Density Polyethyelene (HDPE) rated 90 oC or Low Linear Density Polyethyelene (LLDPE) rated 90 oC or PVC Compound + 2.5 % Carbon Black Rated 70 oC or 85 oC are also available according to customer request
Areal Bundled cables have many options in terms of: i) the number of phase conductors used, ii) the type of neutral (messenger) conductor if Aluminum - H14 (equally supported), or Aluminum Alloy, Aluminum Conductors Steel-Reinforced (ACSR), Aluminum Conductors Aluminum-Clad Steel-Reinforced (ACSR/AW) (self supported) and either it is bare or insulated, iii) the insulation type & the phase identification.
