0.6/1KV ABC-Aerial Bundled Cable-GB/T 12527

0.6/1kV ABC cable built to GB/T 12527 standard.

Reliable bundled conductor for overhead LV distribution.

Insulated, compact, and safe for urban and rural networks.

Durable ABC cable with XLPE insulation and UV protection.

Factory-supplied 0.6/1kV ABC – ideal for low-voltage aerial lines.

Application

The 0.6/1kV Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC), manufactured according to GB/T 12527, is designed for overhead low-voltage power distribution, particularly in urban, rural, forested, and mountainous areas where safety and reliability are critical.

This cable consists of aluminum or aluminum alloy phase conductors, insulated with weather-resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). A neutral conductor, often bare or insulated, serves as a supporting messenger. The bundled, insulated design significantly reduces short-circuit risks, improves safety, and allows for closer pole spacing and simplified installations.

Compared to traditional bare conductors, ABC offers better protection against environmental interference, such as tree branches, lightning, or accidental contact. It is ideal for power lines in residential areas, temporary installations, and network upgrades where minimizing right-of-way and infrastructure cost is important.

The cable operates efficiently at 0.6/1kV, with insulation rated for continuous service at 90°C. It complies fully with Chinese standard GB/T 12527, ensuring consistent mechanical strength, UV resistance, and electrical insulation performance.

Specifications

AspectTechnical DetailsTypical Applications
Applicable StandardGB/T 12527-2008 – Chinese standard for 0.6/1kV aerial insulated cables with rated voltage up to 1kVWidely adopted by State Grid, urban-rural power upgrades, and construction sites
Conductor TypeHard-drawn aluminum conductor (1350)- Can be round or sector-shapedUsed for overhead low-voltage distribution from transformers to buildings/poles
Neutral / MessengerBare galvanized steel core or aluminum alloy neutral conductorOptional insulation layerIn self-supporting or catenary-type overhead configurations
Insulation Material– Weather-resistant XLPE or HDPE– Thickness as per conductor size and voltage classWithstands sunlight, rain, pollution, and mechanical contact (e.g., tree branches)
Cable Structure– 2 to 4 power cores, twisted with insulated or bare neutral– Optional street lighting coreSupports single-phase, three-phase, or three-phase + light configurations
Voltage RatingRated voltage: 0.6/1kV (Um = 1.2kV)LV public distribution systems (230/400V), especially in village grids and alleyways
Operating Temp.– Continuous: 90°C– Max short-circuit: 250°C / 5sSuitable for subtropical and temperate regions of China
Core Size Range– Phase cores: 10–150 mm²– Neutral core: usually equal or larger sizeCustomizable to load demand and span length
Installation TypeOverhead pole-mounted, no need for insulators- Span ranges typically from 30–60 metersQuick deployment in tight urban spaces or hilly terrain
Features vs. IEC/BS– Optimized for China grid practice, wider use of steel core neutral– Core twisting angle tailored to short-span linesMore cost-efficient for domestic & regional projects vs. imported equivalents
