FAQ From Customers
-
What is Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC)?
Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC) is a type of overhead power cable designed to improve electrical safety and efficiency in power distribution. ABC cables consist of several insulated conductors bundled together, which reduces the risk of short circuits and reduces the need for separate supporting structures like traditional power lines. ABC cables are ideal for urban areas, rural power distribution, and residential installations as they are more compact, safer, and easier to maintain compared to traditional bare conductor cables. -
What are the types of ABC cable?
There are several types of ABC cables based on voltage ratings, installation methods, and conductor materials. The most common types include:
1. Low-Voltage ABC cables, used for residential and commercial power distribution networks.
2. Medium Voltage ABC cables, used for power transmission in industrial zones and urban environments.
3. 33kV ABC cables, specifically designed for high voltage distribution, ensure safe and efficient power delivery across long distances.
These cables are available in aluminum or copper conductors, depending on the application requirements. -
What is low voltage aerial bundled cable used for?
Low-voltage aerial bundled cables (LV ABC) are commonly used in residential and small commercial installations for power distribution. These cables offer a compact, safe, and reliable solution for transmitting low-voltage electricity from distribution points to homes, apartments, and small businesses. LV ABC cables are ideal for areas where space is limited, and traditional overhead power lines may pose safety risks, such as densely populated urban zones or sensitive environments. -
What is the application of 33kV aerial bunched cable?
33kV aerial bunched cables are used for medium to high voltage power distribution, typically in industrial or urban power networks. They are designed for overhead transmission of electricity over medium to long distances while ensuring a high level of safety and electrical efficiency. 33kV ABC cables are commonly used in areas where aerial lines are necessary but traditional open-air power lines are not suitable due to space limitations, aesthetics, or safety concerns. These cables can handle high voltage, reducing transmission losses and ensuring stable power delivery. -
What are the benefits of using aerial bundled cables in power distribution?
Aerial bundled cables (ABC) offer several benefits, including enhanced safety, space-saving design, and reduced maintenance costs. Unlike traditional overhead power lines, ABC cables are insulated, minimizing the risk of electrical faults caused by weather conditions, wildlife, or human interference. The bundled design also makes ABC cables more compact, reducing the need for extensive support structures, which is ideal for urban and residential areas. Additionally, ABC cables are easier to install and maintain, offering reliable, cost-effective power distribution in various environments, from low voltage to 33kV applications.
