Aerial Bundle Cable (ABC)

ABC Cable also known as aerial bundle cables, are cables for overhead line power, so called for combining multiple single core cables together. With applications including temporary power distribution to street lighting and secondary pole-to-pole service cables, they are lightweight stranded aluminium conductors, both single core and multi-cores. Whilst Aerial Bundle Cables are used in rural power distribution in some countries, they are more commonly used in temporary power installations such as on construction sites.

Product Features

• Insulated Conductors: Each conductor in the ABC cable is insulated, which helps prevent electrical faults and reduces the risk of short circuits, making it safer for overhead installations.

• Enhanced Durability: ABC cables are designed to withstand environmental factors like wind, rain, and UV exposure, making them ideal for use in both urban and rural areas.

• Compact Design: The compact structure of ABC cables allows for easier and more efficient installation in areas with limited space, such as densely populated urban environments.

• Safety: The insulation around each conductor ensures safety in installations, reducing the risk of electric shock or fire hazards.

• Flexible Configurations: Available in multiple configurations, from 2-core to 4-core, to meet the needs of single-phase and three-phase electrical systems.

Applications

• Overhead Power Distribution: ABC is commonly used for overhead electricity distribution in urban and rural settings, providing a safer and more efficient means of distributing power.

• Residential Wiring: The insulated design makes ABC a suitable option for residential areas where safety and space constraints are important considerations.

• Industrial and Commercial Installations: Used for distributing electricity in commercial buildings, factories, and industrial parks.

• Utility Infrastructure: Suitable for use by utility companies in both overhead and underground installations, enhancing the overall safety of the power distribution network.
