Aerial Bundle Cable ( ABC cable )/ overhead cable

Detailed Product Description

Aerial bundled cables (also aerial bundled conductors) are   using several insulated bundled tightly together, usually with a bare neutral conductor. This contrasts with the traditional practice of using uninsulated conductors separated by air gaps.

The main objections to the traditional design are that the multiple conductors are considered ugly, and external forces (such as high winds) can and . The resultant sparks were a cause of in drier climates.

In moister climates, tree growth is a significant problem for overhead power lines. Aerial bundled cables will not arc over if touched by tree branches. Although persistent rubbing is still a problem, tree-trimming costs can be reduced.

Note that bundled cables are used only for (1000 V or less), in the portion of the , as the required thickness would be impractical at higher voltages.
