Applications
It is preferred to use of service dro (ABC cables) instead of uninsulated conductors at low voltage networks. service dro (ABC cables) are especially used at areas where the cost of underground networks is expensive and also for electrification of rural areas like villages.
Voltage
Rated voltage U0 / U = 0.6 /1 kV
VAC test voltage 5 kV
Technical Data
Maximum operating temperature 90 degree
Maximum short-circuit temperature 250 degree. Service drop( ABC cables) are especially used at areas where the cost of underground networks is expensive and also for electrification of rural areas like villages.
To supply 120 volt aerial service for temporary service at construction sites,as a Service dro (power pole to service entrance), as a secondary cable (pole to pole) or street lighting. For service at 600volts or lower at a maximum conductor temperature of 75ºC for Polyethylene insulated cables or 90ºC for Cross-linked (XLPE) insulation.
