APPLICATION

Aerial Bundled Conductor cables can be used to replace bare conductor cables in overhead distribution systems. It is ideal for use in urban areas with congested power distribution and narrow lanes and by-lanes. The flexible system is much easier than conventional overhead power lines to re-route when demanded by changes in urban development plans.

CONSTRUCTION

ABC (Aerial Bundled Cables or Aerial Bundled Conductors) are several phase conductors insulated and tightly bundled together with bare neutral conductor for use in overhead power lines. It utilizes the same principles as used for bundled conductors, but are much closer together and each one, except the neutral line, is surrounded by a layer of insulation. This is in direct contrast to the traditional use of uninsulated conductors which are separated by air gaps. LV (Low Voltage) abc aluminum cable are already in use in many countries around the world.
