In the fully supported LV ABC system tension is shared equally by all four conductors. This has distinct advantages, one obvious benefit being higher working and operating tensions.
Low Voltage Aerial Bundled Cables AS/NZS 3560 specifies the requirements of Aerial Bundled Cables with XLPE insulation for use up to 0.6/1kV. It is a result of considerable deliberation among supply authorities and manufacturers seeking to improve on the overseas standard, and features unique tests to verify superior field service performance.

Alloy 1120 has excellent mass-tensionconductance properties and in Australia and Sweden has taken the place of other types of aluminium alloys. Water blocking Olex pioneered the development of water blocking for covered conductors in Australia. Extensive research in material processing and techniques has enabled the manufacturing of covered conductors that are water blocked with a special material meeting all the test requirements of AS/NZS 3675.
‘spacer cable’ systems and in the Insulated Unscreened Conductor (IUC) systems. Conductors Conductors are available in aluminium alloy 1120. Water blocking The conductors are water blocked with a special material meeting the test requirements of AS/NZS 3675. Covering The conductors are covered with a track resistant UV stabilised XLPE or with an inner layer of non-UV stabilised XLPE, and an outer layer of UV stabilised High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). In the latter case, the average thickness of HDPE is not more than 40% of the specified minimum average thickness, and not

Note Reactance and voltage drop are based on three cables laid in flat formation spaced 0.46m apart. The values can also be applied to three-phase circuits with cables in trefoil formation. Continuous current ratings are based on an ambient temperature of 40°C, maximum conductor temperature of 80°C and solar radiation intensity of 1000W/m 2. Fault current ratings are based on initial and final conductor temperatures of 80°C and 210°C respectively.
