IEC 60502-2 MV ABC Cable
MV ABC Cable Application
11KV 33KV MV ABC Cable Aerial Bundled Cable is a new type of aerial cable for power transmitting. It is extensively used in overhead power transmission line. Used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. ACSR offers optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding enables desired strength to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity. It improves the safety and reliance of electrified wire netting. The products primarily used for the distribution of electrical energy under normal conditions of overhead (aerial) installations.The conductors must be installed on insulators and/or spacers adequate for the service voltage. The user may want to give consideration to the dielectric compatibility of the covering, insulator, spacer etc.
Aerial Insulated Cable Description
The conductors are stranded,circular compressed aluminum, aluminum-alloy, copper. The conductor screen is the extruded Semi-conducting conductor shield in Black. And the outer Insulation is mainly thermoplastic polyethylene (PE) or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) in Black with Weather or UV resistant. This standard covers both thermoplastic and cross linked polyethylene constructions, rated for 75°C or 90°C normal service temperature.
