NF C 33-209 Aluminium cables

Application

ALUMINIUM NF C 33-209 service bundled conductors are used for tributary networks of power buildings and their internal networks.

Characteristics

The bundled conductor cables have aluminum conductors, insulated with XLPE, they have good durability and thermal resistance.

Some other important cable characteristics are :

• Ultraviolet radiation resistance,
• Ozone resistance,
• High dielectric strength,
• Light and easy to handle.

Installation

The NF C 11-201 standard´s procedures determine the installation procedures for low voltage overhead lines.

These cables are NOT ALLOWED to be buried, even in conduits.

Marking

• Neutral :

211 NF C 33-209 211 « manufacturing number », « metric marks » ink printed.

• Phase 1, 2, 3 :

the identification number is printed and embossed on insulation.

• Pilot wire n°1 : continuous white line is printed on the insulation
• Pilot wire n°2 : no marking

Electrical characteristics

• Rated voltage : 0.6/1 kV
• Test voltage : 4 kV AC
• Resistance to voltage surges : 1.2/50µs with a positive or negative polarity and a peak value of 20 kV.
