Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC) is a very novel concept for Over Head Power distribution. When compared to the conventional bare conductor overhead distribution system. ABC provides higher safety and reliability, lower power losses and ultimate system economy by reducing installation, maintenance and operative costs. This system is ideal for rural distribution and especially attractive for installation in difficult terrains such as hilly areas, forest areas, coastal areas etc.
When compared to conventional bare conductor OH distribution systems, ABC provides greater safety and reliability, lower power losses, voltage regulation stability, and ultimate system economy by lowering installation, maintenance, and operation costs. This system is ideal for rural distribution and is especially appealing for installation in difficult terrain such as hilly areas, dense forests, coastal regions, and so on. These lines can also be installed without the need to cut or trim any trees. ABC is also regarded as the best option for power distribution in congested urban areas with narrow lanes and by-lanes. Because of its insulation, it is easy to lay even in densely populated areas with narrow gaps between buildings, where bare conductors are usually not permitted. The cable's insulation prevents accidental electrocutions.
There are many types of ABC cables, two cores (both cables are insulated) Aerial bundled cables can be selected from two cores, three cores, and four cores.
Aerial Bunched Cables available in different sizes are also considered to be the best choice for power distribution in congested urban areas with narrow lanes.
