Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC)

ABC Cable Description

ABC cables consist of multiple insulated phase conductors tightly bundled together, typically with a bare neutral conductor. Each conductor, except the neutral conductor, is surrounded by an insulating layer (typically XLPE or PVC).

Low-voltage ABC cables are rated for 0.6/1 kV and primarily constructed from aluminum. They feature insulated phase conductors and a neutral conductor (which may be bare or insulated). Insulation, such as XLPE or PE, protects against electric shock and external interference.

Medium-voltage ABC cables, typically rated between 1 kV and 35 kV, consist of insulated phase conductors (typically aluminum) wrapped around a central support conductor and protected by a protective outer sheath made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
