For Transformer Feeders Medium Voltage Aerial Bundle Cable

MV Aerial Bundled Cables (ABC Cable)

Aerial Bundle Cables, often referred to as Aerial Bundled Conductors or simply ABC Cable, are cables for overhead line power. The cable as a new-type aerial cable is extensively used in rebuilding of urban and forest region electrified wire netting,for temporary power distribution to street lighting and secondary pole-to-pole service cables, for transmitting electric power overhead, and they are more commonly used in temporary power installations such as on construction sites. It improves the safety and reliance of electrified wire netting.

ABC Cable Features

● Easy to install, which is the same as bare conductor.

● Born and covered and insulation layer, prevent electric short circuit and potential risk of fire caused by tree attachment.

● Only minimum of interference applied to the environment, landscape's appearance remains without damage.

● No blackout or outages concern when lines comes though trees, the transmission line maintenance work is easy.

● Less risk of a neutral-only break from tree or vehicle damage, increasing safety.
