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.
