Aerial Bundle Cables Application
Aerial Bundle Cable is a very innovative concept for overhead power distribution as
compared to the conventional
bare conductor over- head distribution system. It 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 hilly
areas, forest areas, coastal areas etc. ABC is also considered to be ideal for power
distribution in congested
urban areas with narrow lanes and by-lanes.
The abc cable can be produced whose construction is phase conductors with neutral bare
conductor or phase
conductor with insulated neutral conductor.
Aluminum (or Aluminum Alloy)stranded conductor (compacted).
XLPE (or HDPE) insulated, PE, PVC, UV-resistant.
AAC messenger core (AAAC or ACSR or Galvanized steel wire messenger core, bare or
covered).
Twisted (or parallel) power cable.
And we can still produce the cables according to the request or customers.

The purpose of messenger wire is:
It acts as load bearing wire
It acts as earth or neutral conductor.
ABC usually has 3 cores plus neutral,the neutral can either be bare or insulated and the
cable can have a street
light of 16mm�. ABC is available in 0.6/1kV, 6.35/11kV 12.7/22kV, 19/33kV. Primarily used for
overhead service
applications such as street lighting, outdoor light and tempo-rary service for construction.
