High-Quality AGL Cables
AGL cables, transformers and connector kits are available in a variety of specifications for both primary and secondary AGL applications.
AGL Cables
ATG Airports’ AGL primary cable is single-core and designed for continuous operation at voltages of up to 5kV to ground. It complies with industry standards including FAA AC 150/5345-7D (L-824) and ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual Part 5, Electrical Services.
We can supply several specifications, including FLYCY, EPR, PCP, braided screen cable and termite protection. The standard drum size of 1kM can also be adjusted on requested.
AGL Transformers
High-quality AGL transformers isolate the airfield lights from the primary circuit, creating a separation point that protects the output equipment connected to the transformer’s secondary circuit.
ATG Airports supply transformers approved by IEC and certified by FAA, with a wide span of power ratings and current capacities. We can also provide suitable AGL secondary cable to connect all of your airfield luminaires to your transformers.
AGL Connector Kits
Making a solid connection is key to the robust and reliable operation of your airfield ground lighting. ATG Airports’ purpose-made AGL connector kits give you that reliability and the peace of mind that your lights and transformers are correctly wired in.
Our connector kits are easy to install, with options available for screened and unscreened cables of varying sizes. Once installed, the connection is made watertight, protecting against ingress during poor weather conditions on exposed and remote airfields.
Why are AGL cables used in airport applications?
AGL cables provide a long list of benefits, allowing airfield operators to overcome the specific challenges faced when connecting airport ground lighting – both the luminaires and the AGL transformers – to the CCR.
Some of these benefits include:
- Compliance: Ensure compliance with all relevant industry standards by choosing AGL primary cable certified by FAA and ICAO, and approved by IEC.
- Durability: Purpose-made high-quality AGL cables are built to withstand poor weather conditions, termite attacks and other threats of mechanical damage.
- Performance: High power ratings and current capacities ensure your AGL cables perform well, with low attenuation even over long distances of AGL secondary cable.
- Safety: Protect against airfield ground lighting failures, while also protecting maintenance workers against electrical connections exposed to water and other weather ingress.
This list goes on and on, and each product offers its own unique benefits when used as part of a complex and carefully designed airfield ground lighting circuit.
