•relative immunity to short circuits caused by external forces (wind, fallen branches), unless they abrade the insulation.
•can stand in close proximity to trees and will not generate sparks if touched.
•simpler installation, as crossbars and insulators are not required.
•less cluttered appearance.
•can be installed in a narrower right-of-way.
•at junction poles, insulating bridging wires are needed to connect non-insulated wires at either side. Abc can dispense with one of these splices.
•less risk of a neutral-only break from tree or vehicle damage, increasing safety with tnc-s systems.
•electricity theft is made harder, and more obvious to detect.
(1).Application:
ABC Cable Primarily used for 120 volt overhead service applications such as street lighting,outdoor lighting,and temporary service for construction.To be used at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75oC for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90oC for crosslinked polyethylene(XLP)insulated conductors.
