Introduction to Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC)

Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC) is an innovative concept for
Over Head (OH) power distribution. When compared to
the conventional bare conductor OH distribution system,
ABC provides higher safety and reliability, lower power
losses, stability in voltage regulation and ultimate system
economy by reducing installation, maintenance and
Reliability, operation cost.

Easy & Safe Installation in Difficult Terrain: This system

Safety & is ideal for rural & difficult terrain such as hilly areas, dense
forest, coastal regions etc. These lines can be laid without
cutting or trimming any trees. ABC is also convenient to
Flexibility lay in densely populated areas with narrow gaps
between buildings, where it is usually not possible to run
bare conductors. Accidental electrocutions are avoided
by the insulation of the cable. The insulated system
allows live line working and thus less downtime, a safe
working environment and quick installation.

Cost Effectiveness: Underground cable installations

have a capital cost ratio as high as 20:1 when compared
to OH lines, thus giving the ABC system a distinct
advantage in cost effectiveness. Also, since the cables are
clearly visible, the faults can be detected and rectified
quickly and with ease. Damage due to water logging is
also avoided as compared to underground cables.

Reliability: ABC's are highly reliable and the insulation

has been developed to withstand heat, cold and intense
sunlight. Disturbance and faults occur five to ten times
more on open wire lines than on ABC lines. There is no
risk in working on a live cable and the insulation reduces
the number of short circuits, over-voltages and
transformer burn outs caused by thunder-storms.
Fewer hardware accessories are needed as each one can
be used with many different sizes of cable.

Reduced Distribution Losses: According to World Bank

analysis, India loses 20% of its generated electricity due to
T&D loses of which power theft is a major component.
Compared to the bare line system, the insulation of the
ABC system makes it far more secure and thus saves it
from Power Theft.

Cable Construction
Insulated Messenger System
An insulated messenger system (also called the French system) consists of 3 black, weather
resistant XLPE or PE insulated phase conductors twisted along with an insulated messenger
conductor made of a high strength Aluminum alloy which serves as a dual purpose earthing
and/or neutral messenger wire.

These systems may also carry 1 or 2 service lines of insulated Aluminum conductor with cross
section of 16mm² or 25mm² to be used for street lighting.

The phase and service conductors are of the same strength while the neutral conductor is
made of a high strength Aluminum Alloy as it is strained to take the load of the entire cable
system.

The construction and mechanical properties of this system originate from HD 626 Part 6
Section E.

Self-Supporting System (2 Core or 4 Core System)

The self supporting cable system consists of 2 or 4 PE or XLPE black, weather resistant
insulated conductors. The mechanical strength of all the cables are equal such that, when
strained, all the cables will equally bear the load of the system.

These systems may also carry 1 or 2 service lines of insulated Aluminum conductor with cross
section of 16mm² or 25mm² to be used for street lighting.

The construction and mechanical properties of this system originate from HD 626 Part 4
Section F.

Uninsulated Messenger System

A uninsulated messenger system (also called the Finnish system) consists of 1-4 black,
weather resistant PE insulated phase conductors twisted around a messenger conductor
made of a high strength Aluminum alloy.

These systems may also carry 1 or 2 service lines of insulated Aluminum conductor with cross
section of 16mm² or 25mm² to be used for street lighting.

The phase and service conductors are of the same strength while the neutral conductor is
made of a high strength Aluminum Alloy as it is strained to take the load of the entire cable
system.

The construction and mechanical properties of this system originate from HD 626 Part 5
Section D.

Insulation Piercing
Connectors (IPC)
Insulation Piercing Connectors are used on all AB
cable systems (messenger wire as well as self
supporting system) to take a tap connection.

This tap can be used to continue the line, distribute

the line, used in street lighting or in service
connections to households.

The design allows the connection to be completely

sealed against any water ingress, thus acting as a
waterproof connector.

Application Guide
IPCs can be selected according to their application.

There are four main applications to IPCs, namely street light, tap off, distribution box
charging and jumper connections.

1. Street Light Connections

In this application, IPCs are generally used to tap the

main AB Cable and connecting it to a service line
that powers streetlights or other applications.
ABC94005

2. Tap off/Multi Tap Connection to Households

These IPCs are used to tap the main AB Cable and

bring power to households. Using the Muliport IPC,
one tap connection from the main line can be used
to bring connections to multiple households.
ABC94014

3. Distribution Box Charging Connection

These IPCs are used to tap the main AB Cable Line to

charge Low Voltage Distribution Boxes which are
further connected to different applications such
residential connections, street lights, etc. Axis Low
Voltage Distribution Boxes can provide up to 9
outgoing connections for each incoming line. ABC94008 ABC94009 ABC94011

4. Jumper Connection

These IPCs are generally used with the same size of

cable on each side to facilitate T-Connections (90°
turns) or any other high angle turn.

What material should you use for Low Voltage Electrical

Distribution Boxes?
What is an Electrical Distribution Box?
A distribution box is a key component of an electrical supply system. From a single, common enclosure, it helps to divide an electrical power
main feed into multiple subsidiary outgoing connections that can be used to provide electrical connections to individual homes, buildings
or for other requirements.

Material Options for Electrical Distribution Boxes

The three most popular materials used for Electrical Distribution Boxes are Thermoset Plastics such as Sheet Molding Compounds (SMC),
Engineering Thermoplastics such as Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) and Epoxy Coated Steel used to make
Metallic Deep Drawn Boxes.

We compare the properties of these three groups in the table below:

Conclusion

The non-recyclability of SMC as opposed to the other materials means that it has a bigger environmental impact and it also leads to higher
production costs because rejected items cannot be recycled and reused.

Taking the material properties into account and relating them to the performance critirea for Low Voltage Electrical Distribution Boxes along
with product cost, it becomes clear that Engineering Thermoplastics such as Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) are
the best materials for the application. Metallic Deep Drawn Boxes made from Epoxy Coated Steel are also a good option for these Distribution
Boxes.

Axis provides a wide range of Electrical Distribution Boxes in PC, SMC and Deep Drawn that can be used in various low voltage applications.
