Aluminum Conductor XLPE Insulated ABC Cable Aerial Bundle Cable

Aluminum Conductor XLPE Insulated ABC Cable Aerial Bundle Cable

Basic construction
Three power cores consisting of standard aluminum conductors, insulated with XLPE insulation

+ One sheath lighting aluminum conductor with XLPE insulation (optional)

+ One messenger Al-alloy conductor (bare or covered)
 

The messenger conductor can be of galvanized steel wire also.
The purpose of messenger wire is
A) It acts as load bearing wire.
B) It acts as earth or neutral conductor.

Application

To supply 600/1000 volt aerial service for

temporary service at construction sites,

as a Service Drop (Power pole to service entrance), as a secondary cable (pole to pole) or street lighting. For service at 600volts or lower at a maximum conductor temperature of 75℃ for Polyethylene insulated cables or 90℃ for Cross-Linked (XLPE) insulation.

2. Usage

To be used at cotages of 600V phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75oC for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90oC for crossliked polyethylene(XLPE) insulated conductors.
