NFC 33-209 Aerial Bundle Conductor ABC Cable 3×25+54.6 mm²

NFC 33-209 Aerial Bundle Conductor ABC Cable 3×25+54.6 mm² is a 0.6/1 kV low-voltage aerial bundled cable for overhead distribution networks. The configuration consists of three 25 mm² compacted stranded aluminium phase conductors twisted around one 54.6 mm² aluminium alloy neutral messenger.

The 54.6 mm² neutral messenger functions as both the neutral conductor and the self-supporting mechanical element. All cores are insulated with black, weather-resistant XLPE and assembled as a pre-twisted overhead bundle for residential, rural and utility distribution projects.

Correct configuration: This page is for 3×25+54.6 mm², consisting of three phase cores of 25 mm² each plus one 54.6 mm² neutral messenger. It is not a 4×16 mm² cable.

Dimensional & Electrical Data

Key Features

01

3×25+54.6 Correct Configuration

Three 25 mm² aluminium phase conductors are combined with one 54.6 mm² aluminium alloy neutral messenger.

02

Self-Supporting Neutral Messenger

The 54.6 mm² neutral conductor carries the mechanical tension of the aerial bundle, reducing the need for a separate catenary wire.

03

XLPE UV Protection

Black weather-resistant XLPE insulation is designed for outdoor exposure and a 90°C maximum continuous conductor temperature.

04

Preassembled Twist Bundle

The four insulated conductors are supplied as one twisted bundle for efficient overhead installation and organized phase arrangement.

05

Low-Voltage Distribution

The 0.6/1 kV design is intended for overhead residential, rural and utility distribution networks.

06

Reduced Phase-to-Phase Exposure

Individual insulation around the bundled conductors improves protection against accidental contact and wind-induced conductor faults.

Construction & Standards

Construction Sequence

Each 25 mm² phase conductor is made from compacted stranded aluminium and insulated with black UV-resistant XLPE. The 54.6 mm² aluminium alloy messenger is insulated and laid together with the three phase cores in a twisted preassembled bundle.

Messenger Function

The neutral messenger provides the neutral electrical path and the mechanical supporting element. Its reference minimum breaking strength is 1,660 daN for the 54.6 mm² construction.

Applicable Standard

NF C 33-209 applies to low-voltage aerial bundled conductors used for overhead distribution networks. Final approval markings, conductor properties, dimensions and test documentation depend on the ordered production design.

  • NF C 33-209
  • 0.6/1 kV rated construction
  • Compacted stranded aluminium phase conductors
  • Aluminium alloy self-supporting neutral
  • Black UV-resistant XLPE insulation
  • Preassembled overhead twist bundle

Typical Applications

Residential Overhead DistributionThree-phase low-voltage distribution for housing areas and service connections.
Rural Power NetworksOverhead distribution in rural areas where a self-supporting bundled conductor is preferred.
Pole-Mounted ServiceConnections from low-voltage distribution poles to service entry and local distribution points.
Utility Distribution ProjectsPreassembled 0.6/1 kV bundles for public and private overhead network construction.
Outdoor Low-Voltage LinesXLPE-insulated conductors designed for weather and UV exposure.
