12.7/22kV Screened MV ABC Cable Application:
MV ABC Aerial bundled cables are mainly used for secondary overhead lines on poles or as feeders to residential premises.The cable as a new-type aerial cable is used for transmitting electric power overhead, extensively used in rebuilding of urban and forest region electrified wire netting. It improves the safety and reliance of electrified wire netting.
Three XLPE insulated screened cores are bundled around the galvanized steel wires in a right hand lay.
