The overhead cable is a very new overhead distribution system compared to the traditional bare wire overhead distribution system.

Overhead cables are of type AAC ACSR AAAC ABC.

ABC cable: That is, overhead type bundled cable, widely used in many underdeveloped areas, including 1 core, 2 cores, 3 cores, 4 cores: Covered line wire, Duplex service drop, Triplex service drop, Quadruplex Service Drop.
It includes all insulated cores, two insulated cores with one bare conductor, three insulated cores with one bare conductor, pure aluminum or pure aluminum and aluminum alloy mixed with stranded, etc.

Product Construction

Conductor: Aluminum conductor, round-stranded compression type (RM).

Insulation: XPLE compound, UV resistant.

Wire core identification: 1, 2 resp. 3 raised longitudinal ribs on the surface of the cores. The surface of the neutral core should have at least 12 ribs for cross-sections up to 50 mm2 and a minimum of 16 ribs for cores above 50 mm2. In the case of five-core bundles, the surface of the protective core should be smooth.

LV Aerial Bundled Conductor (ABC) Cables

Application Of Triplex ABC Cable

Aerial Bundle Cable (ABC cable) is a very innovative concept for overhead power distribution as compared to the conventional bare conductor overhead cable.

Suitable for rated voltage 0.6/1kV and below in overhead power lines, can be used as fixed laying or lead-in line, and also for low-voltage cable distribution.

Property System.

It provides a higher level of safety and reliability, lower power losses, and ultimate system economy by reducing installation, maintenance, and operative cost.

LV Aerial Bundle Cables are designed 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 for street lighting. 

This overhead cable provides reinforced insulation acc. IEC 61140 and fulfill therefore Class II acc. IEC 61140. 

It is not flame retardant. But this could be if the requested change to a flame retardant cable.

0.6/1kV Low Voltage ABC Cable

Low-voltage ABC cable, designed for overhead power lines and room entrance wires with a rated AC pressure of 1kv and below. 

It has less installation, maintenance, and operating costs, which can achieve greater economic loss and provide higher security and reliability.

6.5-35KV Medium Voltage ABC Cable

Medium voltage ABC overhead cables are widely used in urban, forest, and coastal areas for grid retrofitting for overhead power transmission. ZMS' medium voltage cables are designed to create a more reliable, efficient, and economical system.

We evaluate quality and technical specifications to ensure that our cable systems are adapted to the standards of your distribution network.

Applicable Voltage Level: 10kv and below, 6.35/11kv, 12.7/22kv, 19/33kv, etc

Standard: IEC60502, NF C33-209, GB 12527-90 ASTM 

Duplex / Triplex Service Drop Wire

Duplex service drop wire, whose main component is 1350-H19 aluminum, with concentrically stranded phase wires and PVC or XLPE insulation.
The neutral core is made of concentrically stranded AAC, ACSR, or 6201 aluminum alloy.
Primarily used for 120V overhead service applications such as street lighting, outdoor lighting, and temporary building services.
The voltage between phases is 600V and below, and the conductor temperature does not exceed 75°C for PVC-insulated conductors and 90°C for XLPE-insulated conductors.

Basic design to BS 7870 / TNB Specification (IEC 60502) / HD 626 S1 / NFC 33-209 / AS/NZS 3560-1 standards.

Construction Of Triplex ABC Cable

Conductor: Aluminium conductor, round-stranded compressed (RM).

Insulation: XPLE compound, UV-resistant.

Core Identification: 1, 2 resp. 3 raised longitudinal ribs on the surface of the cores. 

The surface of the neutral core should have at least 12 ribs for cross-sections up to 50 mm2 and a minimum of 16 ribs for cores above 50 mm2.

In the case of five-core bundles, the surface of the protective core should be smooth.
