The Aluminum Solidal Concentric Cable 10mm² with 4 Copper Wires is a high-performance and secure solution for low voltage electricity distribution. This cable is engineered with a solid aluminum core conductor, concentrically surrounded by copper wires that serve as the neutral and/or earth conductors. Its robust design and specialized materials make it an excellent choice for service entrance and sub-main distribution, particularly where enhanced security and the prevention of power theft ('black losses') are paramount.
CONSTRUCTION
Aluminum Solidal Concentric Cable Construction
1.Phase conductor:Solidal aluminum wire
2.Insulation :XLPE
3.Communication Core : Plain annealed copper

Key Features
- Type of Cable: Aluminum Solidal Concentric Cable. This construction is designed for compact, robust, and secure power delivery.
- Conductor Material: The primary current-carrying core is a Solid Aluminum conductor with a cross-sectional area of 10mm². The solid construction provides good mechanical stability and simplifies termination.
- Insulation: The main aluminum conductor is insulated with XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene). XLPE offers superior electrical insulation properties, high thermal resistance (allowing for higher current ratings), and excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Neutral/Earth Conductors: Four individual Solid Copper Wires are concentrically laid around the insulated aluminum phase conductor. These copper wires function as the combined neutral and/or earth conductors, providing a secure and efficient return path for current and grounding. The copper material ensures excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance for these critical functions.
- Communication Core (Optional/Integrated): This specific configuration includes a Solid Copper Wire for communication purposes. This integrated communication core allows for monitoring, control, or data transmission alongside power delivery, making the cable suitable for smart grid applications or remote metering.
- Outer Sheath: The cable is protected by a tough outer sheath made of LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene). LLDPE provides excellent resistance to UV radiation, abrasion, and environmental stressors, making the cable suitable for direct burial and outdoor exposed installations.
Application
The Aluminum Solidal Concentric Cable 10mm² with 4 Copper Wires is ideally suited for a variety of low voltage power distribution scenarios where security, durability, and reliable communication are required:
- Service Entrance Connections: Directly connecting the power distribution network to residential, commercial, and industrial meter panels, offering a secure and tamper-resistant primary link.
- Sub-Main Distribution: Distributing power from the main meter panel to various sub-distribution points within a property or complex.
- Smart Metering Installations: The integrated communication core makes it highly suitable for intelligent metering systems that require data feedback.
- Rural and Urban Distribution Networks: Versatile for deployment in diverse environments.
- Direct Burial: Its robust insulation and LLDPE sheath allow for direct underground installation.
- Outdoor Exposed Installations: Designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
- Theft Prevention: The concentric design significantly complicates unauthorized tapping, reducing instances of electricity theft and 'black losses.'
Benefits
- Enhanced Security: The concentric conductor arrangement and robust sheathing act as a deterrent against power theft and tampering.
- Reliable Performance: Combination of solid aluminum for power, solid copper for neutral/earth and communication, and XLPE/LLDPE insulation ensures consistent and safe electrical transmission.
- Integrated Communication: The dedicated copper communication core provides a convenient and reliable channel for monitoring or smart grid applications.
- Durability & Longevity: High-quality materials and construction ensure excellent resistance to environmental factors, mechanical stress, and long operational life.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Offers a competitive alternative to all-copper cables for the main power conductor, without compromising on critical neutral/earth or communication functions.
- Versatile Installation: Suitable for direct burial, underground conduit, or outdoor exposed installations.
