NFC 33-209 Aerial Bundle Conductor ABC Cable 3×50+54.6+2x16mm2

Our NFC 33-209 Aerial Bundle Conductor (ABC) Cable, specifically the 3x50+54.6+2x16mm² configuration, is a high-performance, pre-assembled aluminum overhead cable designed for efficient and safe power distribution. This 'Twisted Cable' is an ideal solution for residential and rural overhead networks, significantly reducing bushfire hazards due to its robust XLPE insulation.

It offers a combination of reliability, safety, and reduced installation costs, making it a preferred choice for various low-voltage applications.

Applications & Benefits

This ABC cable is primarily designed for overhead distribution in residential and rural areas. Its unique design brings several significant advantages:

• Reduced Bushfire Hazards: The insulated nature of ABC cables significantly lowers the risk of bushfires compared to bare overhead conductors, especially in vegetated areas.
• Enhanced Safety: Provides increased personnel safety by reducing the risk of accidental contact.
• Reliability: Engineered for consistent power delivery with high dependability.
• Cost-Effective Installation: The pre-assembled, twisted design simplifies and speeds up installation, leading to lower labor costs.
• UV Resistance: The XLPE covering contains a high level of carbon black, offering excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation, ensuring longevity in outdoor environments.

Important Note: While offering numerous benefits, ABC cables are generally suited for shorter spans due to their increased weight compared to bare conductors. They are designed for use at 600V or less phase-to-phase, with conductor temperatures not exceeding 75°C for polyethylene insulated cables or 90°C for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated cables.

Standards Compliance

Our Aerial Bundled Conductors are manufactured to meet the rigorous requirements of the National French Standard NFC 33-209.

Construction Details

The ABC cable features a robust multi-core construction:

• Phase Conductor: Aluminium conductor, round stranded compressed (RM), ensuring excellent conductivity.
• Neutral Conductor: Alloy aluminium conductor, round stranded compressed (RM), serving as both a neutral and the primary mechanical support (messenger) for the bundle.
• Lighting Conductor: Aluminium conductor, round stranded (RM), specifically for public lighting circuits.
• Insulation: All conductors are individually insulated with Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE), providing high dielectric strength and temperature resistance.
