The Screened Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC) with Bare Messenger Neutral 6.35/11kV manufactured by Zhongdong Cable is designed for medium-voltage overhead distribution networks requiring improved electrical protection, mechanical stability, and reliable outdoor performance.
The cable consists of three XLPE insulated aluminium phase conductors assembled around a bare messenger neutral conductor. Each phase conductor incorporates a semi-conductive screen and metallic screen to provide controlled electric field distribution and enhanced protection against electrical stress.
Compared with conventional bare overhead conductors, this screened MV ABC cable reduces the risk of phase contact faults caused by wind movement, vegetation, and external interference. The compact bundled design also helps minimize installation space and improves safety in densely populated or environmentally sensitive areas.
