NS75/NS90 Quadruplex Unjacketed Overhead Neutral Supported Cable
NS75/NS90 Quadruplex Unjacketed Overhead Neutral Supported Cable is designed to deliver three-phase power from secondary overhead power lines or pole-mounted transformers directly to the service entrance conductors of a building or structure. Rated for 600V systems, this cable combines durability, conductivity, and thermal performance, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial power distribution. Featuring three XLPE-insulated aluminum phase conductors (75 mm² or 95 mm²) supported by a bare neutral messenger (ACSR or AAAC) without an overall jacket, it offers excellent mechanical strength and weather resistance. Compliant with AS/NZS 3560, IEC, and utility standards, this cable supports 600/1000V applications with superior UV, moisture, and tracking protection. The unjacketed design reduces weight and cost while maintaining integrity for spans up to 100m. The NS75/NS90 Quadruplex Unjacketed Overhead Neutral Supported Cable ensures low sag, easy installation, and long-term reliability in harsh conditions.

Raw Material Test
Raw material testing for the NS75/NS90 Quadruplex Unjacketed Overhead Neutral Supported Cable ensures compliance with AS/NZS and IEC standards. Phase conductor aluminum wires are inspected for purity, conductivity, and elongation using spectrometry and tensile machines. Neutral messenger (ACSR/AAAC) undergoes zinc coating mass, tensile strength, and ductility checks via wrap/torsion tests. XLPE insulation compound faces density, melt flow index, carbon black content (UV protection), and tracking resistance analysis via OIT/DSC. Samples endure accelerated aging and environmental stress cracking trials. The step-by-step process: incoming batch verification, random sampling, physical/mechanical testing (diameter, weight per length), chemical composition confirmation, corrosion/UV pre-simulation, and material release decision.
Process inspection
During manufacturing of the NS75/NS90 Quadruplex Unjacketed Overhead Neutral Supported Cable, process inspection maintains precision. Phase conductor stranding is monitored for compactness with laser gauges. XLPE insulation extrusion controls thickness uniformity and concentricity using online X-ray systems. Messenger integration verifies lay and tension balance. No overall jacket is applied per unjacketed design. Real-time spark testing and diameter verification occur continuously. Key steps: material pre-drying confirmation, extrusion/assembly parameter logging (temperature, speed, tension), intermediate hot set tests for crosslinking degree, partial discharge monitoring, defect detection/correction, and post-process cooling control.
Finished Product
The finished NS75/NS90 Quadruplex Unjacketed Overhead Neutral Supported Cable undergoes extensive testing for certification. Routine tests include conductor resistance, insulation thickness, high voltage withstand, messenger tensile strength, and tracking resistance. Mechanical tests cover elongation, impact, and bending. Weathering via UV and heat cycling is assessed. The process steps: sample preparation, gradual voltage/load ramp-up, timed hold/exposure monitoring, environmental conditioning (heat/UV), post-test electrical/mechanical re-measurement, and visual inspection. Additional verifications include sag-tension performance, partial discharge (≤5pC), and marking durability. Only cables passing all criteria are approved, confirming the NS75/NS90 Quadruplex Unjacketed Overhead Neutral Supported Cable's electrical safety, mechanical endurance, tracking resistance.
Application
NS75/NS90 Quadruplex Unjacketed Overhead Neutral Supported Cable is perfect for overhead three-phase secondary distribution in residential areas, rural networks, and urban extensions. Commonly used for service drops from poles to buildings requiring self-supporting, cost-effective neutral-supported cables in moderate spans.
