Product Description

Product Overview

The ABC (Aerial Bundled Cable) 3x50 + 1x54.6 + 1x16 mm² is a low-voltage insulated overhead cable designed for power distribution in urban, rural, and difficult-to-access areas. It features three 50 mm² AAC phase conductors, one 54.6 mm² AAAC neutral messenger for mechanical support, and one 16 mm² AAC core typically used for public lighting or control circuits. All conductors are insulated with UV-resistant XLPE.

This cable complies with NFC 33-209, IEC 60228, and BS 7870-5 standards, ensuring excellent mechanical durability, electrical performance, and long-term reliability.

Application

• Overhead distribution networks in residential and rural areas

• Power supply in mountainous, forested, or flood-prone zones

• Street lighting and public utility power circuits

• Electrification of temporary or mobile facilities (e.g., construction sites)

• Areas with frequent interference from vegetation or theft concerns

Key Features and Specifications:

• Conductors:

  Typically made of aluminum, with the phase conductors being stranded and compressed (RM), and the neutral conductor often being a higher cross-section for increased current-carrying capacity. 
  Insulation:
  XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) for UV resistance and protection against environmental factors.

  Voltage Rating:

  Commonly rated for 0.6/1 kV (600/1000V), suitable for low voltage applications.

  Operating Temperature:

  Can range from -40°C to +90°C, with a maximum short-circuit temperature of 250°C.

  Standards:

  Often designed to meet standards like NFC 33-209, which specifies requirements for aerial bundled cables.

  Applications:

  Used for power distribution in overhead lines, including service drops from power poles to buildings, and for secondary distribution between poles.

  Advantages:

  Offers increased safety due to insulation, reduced power losses compared to bare conductors, and potentially lower installation and maintenance costs.

  

  

  

   

  

  

  
  
  Specific to the 3X50+1X54.6+1X16 mm² configuration:

  The 3X50 mm² conductors are the phase conductors, carrying the electrical load. 

  The 1X54.6 mm² conductor is the neutral conductor, providing a return path for the current. 

  The 1X16 mm² conductor is a messenger or supporting conductor, often made of aluminum alloy, and provides mechanical strength to the bundle.
