HT ABC Cables

XLPE/HDPE insulated power conductors of Aluminium (Neutral conductor and street lighting conductor if and when necessary) are laid together (twisted) around a high tensilegalvanized steel (Aluminium Alloy may be used) insulated or bare messenger wire to form the Aerial Bunched Cable. This assembly is directly strung on to distribution pole/towers by means of standard hardware available in the market, but care shall be taken to render the messenger wire completely insulated from Earthing at any point of distribution in case of HT ABC.
MV AB cables are highly reliable and insulation has been developed to withstand extreme cold and intense sunlight. Disturbance and faults occur five to ten times more often in open wires lines than in AB cable lines. There is no risk in touching the live cable and the insulation reduces the number of short circuits and overvoltage faults in overhead cables during thunderstorms. Streets can be lit only at little extra cost by adding a Street Light Cable to ABC for lighting. The cable can be supplied with one or two insulated conductors for street lighting.
11 KV & 33 KV Aerial Bunched cables are used for power distribution in cities where ground space is constrained.
