Characteristics of Overhead Insulated Conductors (ABC Cable)

The main features of overhead insulated conductors (ABC cables) are good insulation properties. Because the overhead insulated wire has an additional insulating layer, the insulation performance is superior to that of the bare wire, which can reduce the phase distance between the lines, reduce the insulation requirements for the line support parts, and increase the number of circuits in the line on the same pole.

Use and characteristics of overhead insulated cable (ABC Cable)

Because of the one more insulation layer, the insulation performance of overhead insulated conductor is superior to that of bare conductor. The line phase distance can be reduced, the insulation requirement of the line support member can be reduced, the number of circuits of the line erected on the same pole can be improved, and the corrosion resistance is good. Because of the insulation layer in the outer layer of overhead insulated conductor, the degree of oxidative corrosion of overhead insulated conductor is smaller than that of bare conductor, and the corrosion resistance of overhead insulated conductor is stronger, which can prolong the service life of the line. Prevent external damage, reduce external factors such as trees, flying objects, metal film and dust, and reduce phase-to-phase short circuit and grounding accidents. The strength meets the requirements. Although the insulated wire is less steel core, it is tough, so that the mechanical strength of the entire wire meets the stress design requirements.
