Aerial Bunched Cables
Yeshwant Wires is a leading Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC) manufacturer in India, providing high-quality cables for overhead low-tension power distribution. Our ABC cables are engineered using electrolytic grade copper conductors and premium insulation materials like XLPE and PVC to ensure superior conductivity, mechanical strength, and weather resistance. They are ideal for replacing traditional overhead lines and improving safety.
Combining multiple insulated conductors into a single compact unit, these cables deliver exceptional safety, efficiency, reduced power losses, and durability. They comply with IS, IEC, and BS EN standards and are available in 3-core, 4-core, or customized configurations for residential, commercial, and industrial power distribution.
Description
Aerial Bunched Cables are specialized overhead power distribution cables designed to replace traditional bare conductor systems. These cables bundle multiple insulated conductors together, eliminating the need for separate supporting wires and providing a safer, more reliable power supply with reduced maintenance costs and prevention of accidental contact.
These cables are extensively used in residential colonies, commercial buildings, industrial areas, and rural electrification projects where space constraints, safety considerations, and reliable power distribution are critical. Their compact design reduces short circuits, fire hazards, and power theft while improving operational efficiency.
Key Features & Advantages
- High Electrical Conductivity: Copper conductors ensure minimal energy loss and efficient power transmission.
- Compact & Lightweight: Multiple insulated cores bundled together reduce space and simplify installation.
- Weather Resistant: XLPE and PVC insulation ensures excellent performance under sun, rain, and wind.
- Durable & Safe: Mechanically strong, flame retardant, and resistant to abrasion and UV exposure.
- Easy Installation: Eliminates the need for separate supporting wires and reduces installation time.
- Complies with Global Standards: IS 398, IEC 60502, and BS EN 50525.
Technical Specifications
| Property | Specification | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor Material | Hard Drawn Aluminium or Aluminium Alloy | Aluminium/Alloy is used due to its light weight and low cost, essential for long overhead spans. It offers a good conductivity-to-weight ratio. |
| Voltage Grade | Up to 1.1 kV (Low Voltage - LV) and 11-33 kV (Medium Voltage - MV) | ABC systems are primarily deployed for secondary (LV) and primary (MV) power distribution circuits. |
| Operating Temperature | -20°C to +90°C (Insulation dependent) | The $90^\circ\text{C}$ rating for XLPE insulation determines the cable's ampacity (current rating) under various climatic conditions. |
| Insulation | XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) or Weather Resistant PE | XLPE is the standard due to its excellent dielectric properties, high thermal resistance, and durability against weathering, UV light, and abrasion in an outdoor environment. |
| Neutral Messenger | Bare or Insulated Aluminium Alloy (ACSR often used) | Defines the ABC structure. This is the load-bearing element of the cable bundle, which carries the mechanical stress of the span. It also functions as the system's neutral conductor. |
| Core Construction | Bundled, tightly twisted phase conductors around the neutral messenger. | The twisted design **reduces magnetic field generation** compared to open-wire lines and simplifies installation by handling multiple conductors as a single unit. |
| Key Benefits | Increased Safety, Reduced Pilferage, Higher System Reliability (Fewer short-circuits) | The insulation prevents accidental contact and short circuits from tree branches or animal contact, leading to fewer outages and greater public safety. |
| Standards | IEC 60811 / IEC 60502 / IS 14255 / NFC 33-209 | Compliance ensures the cable meets requirements for insulation thickness, mechanical strength, and electrical performance suitable for overhead distribution. |
Applications
Aerial Bunched Cables are widely used in residential colonies, commercial buildings, industrial areas, and rural electrification projects for overhead power distribution. Their compact and insulated design allows for safe and reliable power supply, reducing the risk of short circuits, fire hazards, and accidental contact, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas.
