Aerial Bundle Cable (ABC cable) is a very innovat ive concept for overhead power distribution as compared to the conventional bare conductor overhead distribution system. It provides higher level of safety and reliability , lower power losses and ultimate system economy by reducing installation, maintenance and operative cost.

Caledonian 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 t o pole) or st reet lighting. This over-head 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 requested change to a flame retardant cable.

Standard

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

Construction

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.
