China All Aluminum Alloy Conductor Insulated with Either Polyethylene or XLPE Cross-Linked Polyethylene

1.Introduction
ABC Aerial Bundled Cable are overhead power lines using several insulated phase conductors bundled tightly together, usually with a bare neutral conductor. They can improves safety and reliance of electrified wire netting.

2.Construction

Phase conductors are concentrically stranded EC Grade aluminum wires, insulated with either black weather resistant cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) or polyethylene (PE). The conductor insulation is marked with longitudinal ridges for phase identification.

Neutral messengers are concentrically stranded AAC or 6201 Alloy or ACSR. Neutral messenger can either be bare or insulated, depending on ABC aerial cable design.
