The Screened Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC) with Bare Messenger Neutral 19/33kV manufactured by Zhongdong Cable is designed for medium-voltage overhead distribution systems requiring enhanced electrical protection, mechanical strength, and reliable operation under demanding outdoor conditions.
The cable consists of three XLPE insulated aluminium phase conductors twisted around a bare aluminium alloy messenger neutral conductor. Each insulated phase conductor is equipped with a semi-conductive screen and metallic screening layer to provide improved electric field control and protection against external interference.
Compared with conventional bare overhead conductors, this screened MV ABC design reduces the risk of phase-to-phase faults, improves operational safety in areas with limited clearance, and provides a compact solution for modern overhead distribution networks.

The bare messenger neutral combines electrical neutral function with mechanical support, reducing the need for separate overhead support wires.
The screened construction provides improved electrical protection and helps manage fault currents, making it suitable for demanding distribution environments.
Yes. It is commonly used as an alternative where improved safety, reduced maintenance, and limited installation space are important factors.
Typical accessories include suspension clamps, anchoring clamps, earthing accessories, pole fittings, and screened cable connectors selected according to project requirements.
With XLPE insulation and proper installation, the cable is designed for long-term outdoor operation under normal service conditions.
