-
ABC cables typically consist of stranded aluminum conductors, insulated with weather-resistant polyethylene (PE) or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).
-
They are primarily used for overhead power lines, service drops, and secondary distribution between poles, often at voltages of 600 volts or less.
-
ABC cables offer advantages such as reduced installation costs, lower maintenance, and increased safety compared to traditional bare overhead conductors.
-
50mm² is a common size for ABC cables, but other sizes (e.g., 10mm², 16mm², 25mm², 35mm², 70mm², 95mm²) are also available depending on the specific application.
-
ABC cables are designed for low and medium voltage applications, typically up to 1kV.
-
They are installed using specialized techniques to ensure proper spacing, tension, and connections.
-
ABC cables are manufactured and tested to meet various international standards, including those related to voltage, insulation, and mechanical strength.
