Failure in uninterrupted power supply is very common problem for most of overhead transmission system. This is mostly happened due to use of contentional bare overhead conductor. Apart from safety reasons, the bare conductors are the causes immense loss of electrical energy.
aerial bunched cable
Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC) is a very novel concept for Over Head Power distribution. 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. In developing urban complex, ABC is the first choice because of its flexibility for re-routing as demanded by changes in urban development plan.
It is the leading manufacturer & supplier of ABC cable.
APPLICATION:
Aerial Bunched Cables can be conveniently used:
As replacement of bare lines in Rural Areas, in woods and in other localities & narrows streets where the space limited.
As replacement of bare lines where reliability of supply is of prime importance.
aerial bunched cable
As replacement of bare lines where high degree of stability of supply voltage is of importance.
In hilly terrains where cost of erection of overhead lines or under ground cable becomes very high.
As reinforcement of existing system without increasing voltage.
For temporary supplies
ADVANTAGES:
In comparison to bare overhead power distribution lines, ABC has very high reliability in maintaining services because power and neutral conductors are insulated with the best dielectric medium, resulting in the following advantages:
Less fault rate on account of good protection against line and ground fault by high winds or falling trees or birds especially in hilly areas & forests as encountered in rural distribution networks.
High insulation resistance to earth in all seasons and polluted atmospheres. Negligible leakage currents and low losses.
Multiple circuits of Power and Telephone cables could be strung in the same set of poles or any other supports like walls etc.
Better adaptability to run concurrently with existing overhead bare conductor system without any interference.
High capacitance and low inductance leading to low impedance of lines.
Lower voltage drop, higher current capacities. VIS-À-VIS Better Voltage Regulation.
Longer spans and longer distance lines are possible with better system stability.
ABC cables are much safer than bare Conductors.
It can be over hung in dense vegetation and forests.
Additional connections can be easily and quickly made with hot – line connectors.
Total lines costs are reduced.
Maintenance is very easy.
