0.6/1kV ABC Cable: bundled overhead cables, BS 7870-5 (AL/XLPE)

What is ABC Cable BS7870-5?

ABC Cable BS7870-5, aerial bundle cables, commonly known as aerial beam conductors or ABC, with a tension of 0,6/1 kV, used to bundle multiple single core cables. ABC cables are widely used in the temporary distribution of power for public lighting and in service cables between secondary poles.. These cables are made of stranded aluminum conductors., both single-core and multi-core, covered with XLPE insulation, PE a PVC. Its most frequent use is in temporary energy installations., as in buildings under construction. Often, ABC cables are referred to as bare conductors even though they are insulated.

Aerial cables in bundles designed for overhead distribution lines have all conductors made of aluminum 1350 and insulated with XLPE. The phase and neutral conductors are arranged in a harness with passage to the left. They can be used for fixed installations such as overhead distribution lines of up to 1000 V incl.

Our Low Voltage ABC Cable Standard (Cable ABC LV) It's the B.S. 7870 and has a voltage rating of 0,6/1 kV. With the isolation, It also complies with Class II according to the IEC standard 61140 regarding protection against electric shock.

ABC Cable BS7870-5 Standard

BS 7870-5: LV and MV polymeric insulated cables for use by distribution and generation utilities. Part 5: Polymeric insulated aerial bundled conductors (ABC) of rated voltage 0.6/1 kV for overhead distribution.
