There are different types of LT AB cables available, and they are classified based on their construction and conductor configuration. The most common types of LT AB cables include:

1. 1C x 16 mm² + 25 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has one insulated phase conductor of 16 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 25 mm² cross-sectional area.
2. 3C x 16 mm² + 25 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has three insulated phase conductors of 16 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 25 mm² cross-sectional area.
3. 1C x 25 mm² + 25 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has one insulated phase conductor of 25 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 25 mm² cross-sectional area.
4. 3C x 25 mm² + 25 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has three insulated phase conductors of 25 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 25 mm² cross-sectional area.
5. 1C x 35 mm² + 25 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has one insulated phase conductor of 35 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 25 mm² cross-sectional area.
6. 3C x 35 mm² + 25 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has three insulated phase conductors of 35 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 25 mm² cross-sectional area.
7. 1C x 35 mm² + 35 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has one insulated phase conductor of 35 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 35 mm² cross-sectional area.
8. 3C x 35 mm² + 35 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has three insulated phase conductors of 35 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 35 mm² cross-sectional area.
9. 1C x 50 mm² + 35 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has one insulated phase conductor of 50 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 35 mm² cross-sectional area.
10. 3C x 50 mm² + 35 mm² (insulated): This type of cable has three insulated phase conductors of 50 mm² cross-sectional area and one insulated messenger conductor of 35 mm² cross-sectional area.

These are just a few examples of LT AB cable types, and there may be other variations available based on specific requirements and regional standards.
