Aerial Insulated Cable is a durable solution for overhead power distribution. It works best for low-voltage systems like street lights and temporary construction power.
The conductor core features a stranded design. It comes in circular compacted or uncompacted forms. Customers can select materials such as hard-drawn copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, or ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced).
A robust insulation layer protects the metal core. Manufacturers use Thermoplastic Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), or Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) for this purpose. The insulation is black and specifically designed to resist weather and UV light.
Operational limits depend on the materials used. PE and PVC versions handle temperatures up to 70ยฐC, while XLPE versions withstand up to 90ยฐC. The product is available in various configurations, including single-core and multi-core bundles (Triplex and Quadruplex Service Drop). Some options include an auxiliary core, which acts as a load-bearing neutral wire made of steel or aluminum alloy.
