Application
Medium voltage aerial power distribution. Transformer feeders, power plants, industrial and operation installations, in places where underground networks cannot be possible, mining installations, tree-lined urban zones or with little space.
Construction
1. Conductor: Compact stranded aluminium, class 2.
2. Inner semi-conductor: Extruded.
3. Insulation: Cross linked polyethylene XLPE-TR (Tree retardant).
4. External semi-conductor: Extruded strippable.
