Aerial Bunched Cable

Aerial Bunched Cable (ABC) is a very innovative concept for overhead power distribution as compared to the conventional bare overhead distribution system. It is being designed, manufactured & tested conforming to IS: 142SS & other international specifications, provides higher level of safety and reliability, lower power losses and ultimate system economy by reducing installation, maintenance and operative cost. This system is ideal for rural distribution and it is especially perfect for installation in difficult terrains such as hill areas, coastal areas etc. ABC is also considered to be the best choice for Power Distribution in congested urban areas with narrow lanes and by-lanes developing urban complex, ABC is the first choice because of its flexibility for re-routing as demanded by changes urban development plan. These Cables are known as XLPE Insulated Aerial Bunched Cables. These cables are now being used LT distribution lines of electricity.

Aerial Bunched Cables Specifications:

Aerial Bunched Cables Applications:

•  As replacement of bare lines in rural areas, in woods and in other localities & narrow streets where the space is limited.
•  As replacement of bare lines where reliability of supply is of prime importance.
•  As replacement of bare lines where high degree of stability of supply voltage is of importance.
•  In hilly terrains where cost of erection of overhead lines or underground cable becomes very high.
•  AS reinforcement of existing system without increasing voltage.
