SANS1418 Standard Low Voltage ABC Aerial Bundled Cable
Application
ABC aerial bundled cable is suitable for transmitting line and distributing line of rated voltage 0.6/1KV and others. It is widely used at tall buildings, traveling development area and rural area or other place the cost of underground network is expensive. Excellent resistance to external agents. Not suitable for installation directly underground.



Standard
Sans 1418—South African National Standard for Aerial Bundled Conductors System.
General Characteristics
Test voltage | 4 kV a.c. (5 min.) |
Maximum temperature rating of the conductor | +90 ºC |
Short-circuit temperature of the conductor | 250 ºC (t ≤5s) |
Maximum pulling force over conductor (N) | over conductors 30 x Section mm2 |
Construction
Self-Supporting System:
It is composed of four core hard drawn and twisted aluminum conductors with the same cross-sectional area, and the insulating layer is XLPE containing carbon, which can prevent ultraviolet light.

Supporting Core System:The three-phase core wire is composed of a hard-drawn twisted pressed aluminum conductor with the same cross-sectional area. The conductor is insulated with carbon-loaded XLPE and laid around the bare aluminum alloy supporting core.
