Aerial Bundle Cables, normally referred to as Aerial Bundled Conductors or ABC, with 0.6/1kv, are called for combining multiple single-core cables together. ABC cable is widely used in temporary power distribution to street lighting and secondary pole-pole service cables. ABC wires feature light-stranded aluminum conductors, both single-core and multi-core, covered with XLPE/PE/PVC insulation. They are more commonly used in temporary power installations such as an on-base buildings. ABC cables are often referred to as bare conductors As insulated cables. These ABC cables are installed and separated by air gaps but where sparks and shorts in the event of high winds may cause resulting bushfires in dry climates or risk nearby property.
Our Low Voltage ABC are manufactured in accordance with a range of national standards - British standard BS7870, French standard NF C33 209, Australasian standard AS/NZS 3560 Part 1, and IEC standards IEC 60502-1, TNB Specification, and HD 626 S1. They have a voltage rating of 0.6/1kV. With the insulation it also meets Class II according to IEC 61140 in protecting against electric shock. Aerial Bundle Cables have an operating temperature range of -40oC to +80oC and can be installed in temperatures as low as -20oC. These ABC are unscreened and without an additional outer sheath.
Key Applications:
Urban power distribution: In urban areas, where space is limited and safety requirements are high, ABC cables are suitable for power transmission between narrow streets and buildings due to their compact design and insulation properties, which can effectively reduce the risk of electrical accidents.
Rural electrification: In rural and remote mountainous areas, the terrain is complex and traditional bare wires are easily disturbed by trees and wild animals. The insulation layer of ABC cables provides additional protection and reduces power outages caused by external factors.
Industrial and commercial power supply: Industrial facilities and commercial areas require a stable and reliable power supply. ABC cables have high load capacity and can meet the power needs of heavy machinery and equipment.
Coastal and high humidity areas: In coastal and high humidity areas, the salt and moisture in the air place higher requirements on the corrosion resistance of cables. ABC cables are made of corrosion-resistant materials and can operate stably and long-term in these environments.
Temporary and emergency power supply: In construction sites, post-disaster reconstruction and large-scale events, ABC cables are often used for temporary and emergency power supply due to their easy installation and rapid deployment.
Features
Product Features：
Conductor material: Lightweight stranded aluminum conductor is used to ensure the conductivity and reduce the weight of the cable, which is convenient for installation and transportation.
Insulation material: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), polyethylene (PE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is used for insulation, providing excellent electrical performance and mechanical strength.
Heat resistance: The maximum operating temperature allowed for XLPE insulated cables is 90°C, and the conductor temperature can reach 250°C during short circuit (duration not exceeding 5 seconds).
Voltage level: Suitable for 0.6/1kV low-voltage distribution system to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
