Aerial Bundle Cable

ABC cables tend to have a higher initial installation cost due to the insulated components. However, the long-term benefits such as reduced maintenance and improved safety can make them more economical over time.

Maintenance for ABC cables is generally minimal. Regular inspections are recommended to check for any physical damage, such as cuts or abrasions to the insulation. Repairs can be made if necessary, but the overall maintenance costs are lower compared to traditional overhead lines.

ABC cables are installed using insulated supports and are usually placed higher than traditional bare conductor lines. The installation requires careful planning and design to ensure proper tension, sag, and clearance to prevent contact with other objects or structures.

Aerial Bundle Cable (ABC) is a type of electrical power cable that consists of multiple individual conductors bundled together, with insulating layers covering each conductor. It is typically used in overhead power lines to improve safety, reduce electrical interference, and simplify installation.
