Product Overview


The 0.6/1kV Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC) is a high-performance overhead power distribution solution engineered to meet Standard NFC 33-209, along with global benchmarks like BS 7870-5, GB/T 12527, and IEC 60502. Its core strength lies in a precision-crafted duplex structure, combining XLPE/PE/PVC insulation (optimized for UV resistance and extreme weather) with aluminum (Al) phase conductors (16–150 mm² cross-section) and aluminum alloy (AAAC) neutral messenger conductors. This design delivers exceptional mechanical strength—supported by a minimum breaking load of 1.9 kN (for 16 mm² conductors) up to 20.5 kN (for 70 mm² messenger conductors)—and long-term durability in harsh environments.


Beyond standard configurations, we offer customized ABC cable solutions tailored to specific project needs, including conductor cross-sections, insulation materials, and reel lengths (100–1,000m on wooden drums or bespoke packaging). Our OEM capabilities also enable branding and technical adjustments to align with client requirements, making the cable suitable for urban grids, rural electrification, street lighting, and industrial overhead networks.

Product Benefits


Superior Environmental & Mechanical Resistance

The XLPE/PE/PVC insulation blocks UV radiation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations (-1℃ to +40℃), ensuring reliable performance in coastal (high salinity) and tropical regions (up to 2200m altitude, 90% humidity).

AAAC neutral messenger conductors enhance tensile strength and corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance costs and extending the cable’s service life.


Efficient Power Distribution

Low DC resistance (as low as 0.50 Ω/km for 70 mm² conductors) minimizes energy loss, while high current-carrying capacity (up to 306 A for 150 mm² conductors, at 30℃ ambient temperature) supports stable power supply.

Compact bundle diameter (e.g., 22 mm for 3×16+25 mm² configurations) simplifies installation and reduces wind resistance, ideal for dense urban areas.


Flexible & Cost-Effective

Versatile designs (self-supporting LV-ABC lines, LV-ABC with bare neutral messenger, MV-ABC with insulated neutral messenger) adapt to diverse overhead scenarios.

Lightweight aluminum conductors lower transportation and installation costs compared to copper alternatives, without compromising performance.


Usage


Key Application Scenarios

Urban Power Grids: Perfect for distributing power in cities, where space constraints and weather resilience are critical (e.g., street lighting, residential complexes).

Rural Electrification: Navigates remote, harsh terrains to deliver electricity to villages, leveraging its corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.

Industrial Zones: Handles high mechanical stress and heavy load demands in factories, warehouses, and industrial parks.

Tropical & Coastal Areas: Withstands high humidity, salt spray, and thunderstorms (up to 180 thunderstorm days/year), meeting the needs of coastal towns and tropical regions.


Installation Guidelines

The cable is strictly for overhead use and not allowed to be buried (even in conduits) to preserve insulation integrity and mechanical performance.

Our team provides on-site technical assistance and installation guidance to ensure compliance with project standards and safety protocols.

FAQ


What standards does the 0.6/1kV ABC cable comply with?

It meets Standard NFC 33-209 (the core European standard for ABC cables) and international standards like BS 7870-5, GB/T 12527, and IEC 60502. This ensures compatibility with projects requiring European or global certifications.


Can I order a custom length or insulation material?

Yes. We offer customized reel lengths (100–1,000m) and insulation options (XLPE, PE, PVC) based on your project’s environmental and technical needs. Our team will confirm feasibility and provide a tailored quote.


Is the cable suitable for coastal areas with high salinity?

Absolutely. The XLPE/PE insulation and AAAC neutral messenger conductors resist salt spray and corrosion, making the cable ideal for coastal regions with heavy saline conditions.


Do you provide installation support?

Yes. We offer on-site technical assistance, step-by-step installation guidance, and post-installation testing to ensure the cable is installed correctly and performs optimally.
