Aerial Bundled Cable

Aerial Bundled Cables (ABC) are overhead power distribution cables that consist of multiple insulated phase conductors bundled together. Unlike conventional bare conductor overhead lines, ABC cables are fully insulated, making them safer, more reliable, and easier to install.
These cables are widely used in urban and rural power distribution networks, especially in areas where underground cabling is not feasible.

Applications

  • Overhead power distribution in urban, rural, and forested areas
  • Temporary power connections at construction sites
  • Electrification of congested areas or unauthorized colonies
  • Upgrading existing bare conductor systems
  • Crossing roads, rivers, or other physical obstacles

Advantages of Aerial Bundled Cables

  • Improved Safety – Fully insulated conductors reduce the risk of electrical shocks and short circuits
  • Reduced Line Losses – Superior insulation reduces leakage and energy losses
  •  Low Maintenance – Strong mechanical strength and weather resistance ensure durability
  • Easy Installation – Bundled configuration allows for quicker setup with fewer supports
  • Theft Deterrent – Difficult to tap power illegally due to insulation
  • Cost-effective – Eliminates the need for insulators and spacers used in traditional bare conductors
