Description
They are constituted by an insulated aluminium conductor, twisted over a sustaining neutral conductor.
Standards
National : ABNT NBR 8182/03Description
Phase Conductor
Cables manufactured in bare aluminium, hard, class A stranding.
Insulation
Constituted by Thermoplastic (PE) or Thermoset (XLPE) Polyethylene.
Identification
Phase conductors can be identified as follows:
- By numbers printed on the insulation.
Neutral Conductor
For cables with cross-sections from 10mm2 to 25mm2 (including) must use aluminium cables, hard, with no steel core (AAC).
For cables with cross-sections above 35mm2 (including) must use 6201 alloy aluminium cables (AAAC).
NEXANS is able to manufacture multiplex cables with neutral conductor in aluminium cable with steel core, and cables with insulated neutral.
Packing
Multiplex cables are packed in wooden reels, manufactured in compliance with ABNT NBR 11137 standard. They can also be supplied in rolls. In this case, their weight must be limited to 40kg.
