Manufacturer of Overhead Insulated Conductors Lines

Nowadays more and more countries are using overhead conductors Systems. Covered conductors consist of a conductor surrounded by a covering made of insulating material as protection against accidental contacts with other covered conductors and with grounded parts such as tree branches, etc. In comparison with insulated conductors, this covering has reduced reduction-properties, but is able to temporarily withstand the phase-to-earth voltage temporarily. Since covered conductors are unscreened, they are not touch-proof, i.e. they must be treated as bare conductors with respect to electric shock. They are used in overhead lines with rated voltages U above 1 kV a.c. and not exceeding 36 kV a.c.

Different Types of Covered Conductors in Distribution Networks Are:

• Covered Conductor (CC) or Single Layer Coverage (PAS)
• Covered Conductor Thick (CCT) or Triple Layer Covering (BLa/BLL)
• Aerial Spacer Cable (ASC)
• Aerial Bundled Cable
