Aerial Bunched Cables
Overhead LT distribution cables for utility supply – single or three phase.
Overview
ABC is what hangs from the poles overhead in modern utility distribution. Suspended in the air between supports, with insulated phase conductors twisted around a self-supporting messenger. Lighter, safer, less prone to power theft than traditional bare overhead wires, and far simpler to install. We manufacture ABC per IS 14255 (1995) in 1.1 kV grade, using LDPE compound insulation.
