ALUMINIUM ABC CABLE
Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC) is a very novel concept for Over Head Power distribution. When compared
to the conventional bare conductor over head distribution system. ABC provides higher 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 specially attractive for
installation in difficult terrains such as hilly areas, forest areas, coastal areas etc.
Aerial Bunched Cables is also considered to be the best choice for power distribution congested
urban areas with narrow lanes and by – lanes. In developing urban complex, Aerial Bunched Cables is
the better choice because of flexibility for rerouting as demanded by changes in urban development
plan.
Aerial cable consists of fully insulated conductors suspended above the ground. This type of
installation is used increasingly, generally for replacing open wiring, where it provides greater
safety and reliability and requires less space.
Properly protected cables are not a safety hazard and are not easily damaged by casual contact.
They do, however, have the same disadvantage as open-wire construction, requiring proper vertical
clearances over roadways, walkways, and structures.
Aerial cables may be either self-supporting or messenger-supported. They may be attached to pole
lines or structures. Self-supporting aerial cables have high tensile strength for this application.
Cables may be messenger-supported either by spirally wrapping a steel band around the cables and the
messenger or by pulling the cable through rings suspended from the messenger.
Self-supporting cable is suitable for only relatively short distances, with spans in the range of
100-150 feet. Messenger-supported cable can span relatively large distances, of over 1000 feet,
depending on the weight of the cable and the tensile strength of the messenger. For this reason,
aerial cable that must span relatively large distances usually consists of aluminum conductors to
reduce the weight of the cable assembly.
The supporting messenger provides high strength to withstand climatic rigors or mechanical shock. It
may also serve as the grounding conductor of the power circuit.
