Application
DIN 48201:Part 5/BS 6485
Standard is withdrawn but still required by some utilities.
Classes 1 AA and A are used primarily for overhead transmission and primary and secondary distribution, where ampacity must be maintained and a lighter conductor (compared to ACSR) is desired, when conductor strength is not a critical factor. Classes B and C are used primarily as bus, apparatus connectors and jumpers, where additional flexibility is required.
Overhead Line range is an All-Aluminium Conductor (AAC) manufactured for the Railway industry.
The Cable is designed to be used as a bonding cable for rail overhead line applications (OHL/OLE). Bonding cable also acts as an earthing wire, providing a route to Earth from the Power supply and ensures electrical continuity. This provides part of a fail-safe in the event of failure.
