Air cables
THE air cables are electrical conductors installed on pylons for the transport and distribution of energy. Usually made of aluminum or reinforced alloys, sometimes associated with a steel core, these bare cables offer excellent conductivity, great mechanical resistance and simple installation with reduced costs. Aerial cables include several families — ABC, MV ABC, AAC, AAAC, ACSR, ACAR and HTLS — which can be selected according to the real needs of the project in order to optimize mechanical performance, current carrying capacity and behavior in severe climatic conditions.
ZMS Cable provides a full range of certified aerial cables, with a long lifespan, strict quality control, and solutions for custom manufacturing (sections, alloys, structures and packaging) to meet the specific technical needs of each project.
Aerial Cable Types Available at ZMS Cable
AAC – All aluminum conductor
Material :
Aluminum threads stretched, Torned in successive layers, in the opposite direction to form the AAC driver in tortured aluminum.
Application :
The AAC air cable are braided from pure aluminum threads and are characterized by their lightness, their low resistance, their resistance to corrosion and their good conductivity. It is commonly used in medium and low voltage aerial lines and short distance transmission lines.
AAAC - Conducteur en Alliage d'Aluminium
Material :
Made of high-conductive aluminum-magnetic-electrical electrical alloy (min 53% Iacs) containing magnesium (0.6-0.9%) and silicon (0.5-0.9%), rated to give better mechanical properties. AAAC drivers are made of aluminum alloy 6201.
Application :
The AAAC air cable is an isolated aerial driver composed of aluminum alloy drivers. It is generally used for average transmission and distribution lines.
ACSR - Reinforced steel aluminum driver
Material :
An outer aluminum layer of an aluminum conductor twisted concentric on the central soul of solid steel wires or galvanized torthus to form a reinforced driver of aluminum steel.
Application :
ACSR air cable is characterized by great solidity, corrosion resistance and good electrical conductivity. It is commonly used for airlines in high -level residential areas, Cities lighting, airports and other places.
ACAR — Conducteur en alliage d'aluminium renforcé
Materials :
Main driver : aluminum alloy, combining lightness and high conductivity.
Reinforcement : aluminium pur, offering increased mechanical resistance and exceptional sustainability.
Applications :
Energy transmission : Ideal for medium and high voltage airlines.
Electrical distribution : used in urban and rural networks.
Difficult conditions : adapted to environments exposed to intense mechanical and climatic constraints.
ABC - Air cable in bundle
Material :
ABC (Air cables in bundle) with aluminum or aluminum alloy soul as a driver, and combination ofisolation XLPE / PVC / HDPE.
Application :
ABC air cables are safer than conventional aerial isolated drivers because they are protected from grounding defects and electric arcs.
Duplex/triplex cable
Material :
A main aluminum composition 1350-H19, Phase drivers with concentric torments and PVC or XLPE insulation, To avoid damage and increase safety.
Application :
Mainly used for 120V air service applications. Like public lighting, exterior lighting and temporary buildings. The tension between the phases is to 600 V or less. The temperature of the insulated PVC drivers does not exceed 75 ° C and that of the insulated XLPE drivers does not exceed 90 °C.

How to fix an air cable ?
Attacking an air cable requires careful preparation and a suitable method to guarantee its stability and durability. Here are the essential steps :
- Choose suitable accessories : Select accessories for air cables such as insulators, suspension pliers and tensioners, Designed for air cables. These elements ensure optimal support and reduce wear.
- Install the supports : Mount the aerial cable supports (Posts or pylons) to the locations provided. Make sure they are well anchored and aligned for uniform cable tension.
- Cable fixing and voltage : End the air cable with the suspension pliers, Then adjust its tension using tensioners. Correct voltage of the air cable prevents relaxation or rupture.
- Inspection and test : After installing the air cable, Inspect the fixings and test stability. Also check that the cable meets electrical safety standards.
ZMS Cable provides high quality air cables and accessories for aerial cable, guaranteeing effective installation and long durability.
