Technician inspecting an installed ABC line A self - supporting fully insulated cable system for distribution of power. ABC is a superbly reliable, safe and economical system for electricity distribution. It is equally suitable for both cities and rural areas. ABC completely outdates Bare Aluminium conductors, which are commonly used for electricity distribution in Asia, Middle East, USA and in certain countries of Europe. act as a messenger. The neutral conductor is made of Aluminium Alloy of high tensile strength to bear weight of the entire cable. The type of insulation is Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE). The three phase wires and the neutral conductor with or without street lighting wires are bundled together. The French system is popular in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Sri Lanka.
History of ABC
Insulated overhead cable systems have been in use since early 1960s in Europe and North America. The first overhead system in Europe has had a separate catenary wire. However, in countries such as France and Finland the catenary wire was eliminated and the neutral conductor was modified to function as the messenger or the load bearing wire. In late 1960s Sweden and Scandinavian countries developed a system in which all the phase conductors and the neutral conductor are of the same construction and act together as messenger. This is called the Four Core System.
French system
The French system, as specified by the EDF has a 54.6 mm2 insulated neutral conductor, which
conductor. The AMKA system is used in Finland, the Middle East, The Far East, South America and Australia.
1998 it surpassed the said standard to secure it first large order from the said organization for 500 km. this must be considered a remarkable achievement for ACL since only a handful of suppliers have achieved the NFC 33-209 in the region. The advantage of achieving this standard and subsequent process improvements developed by ACL earned a first class image for ACL as a supplier of XLPE insulated ABC. In 2003 when one of the largest Corporates in India was looking for a suitable partner for the introduction ABC to New Delhi, ACL was recommended by an Indian agent. This helped ACL to establish contact with the largest Power distributing company in New Delhi and introduce AB Cable know-how. Up to date ACL has supplied more than US$ 14 million worth of AB Cables to New Delhi, Jaipur and Orissa.
Why Power-X
The technological improvements so achieved by ACL contributed immensely to the upgrading of quality standards of both ABC and other XLPE insulated cables to world-class standards. ACL in the year 1999 decided to rename the entire range of XLPE insulated cables under the trade name of Power-X. Today, ACL market ABC and other XLPE insulated cables under the brand name Power-X to highlight the Quality Advantages our valued customers enjoy in using those cables.

Advantages of ABC
1.
5.
Super safe
Since the individual conductors and the fittings are insulated, accidental electrocution is not possible. Even if a line falls on to the ground continuity of both the electricity supply and safety are ensured.
6.
2.
Super Reliability
This is the biggest advantage of ABC. Fully insulated ABC is not subject to short-circuiting due to rainwater or way - leaf interference. Therefore, reliable power supply is ensured even during extreme weather conditions to the delight of both the consumers and Electricity Distributing Authority.
3.
Eco- friendly
Bare conductors need clearance of vegetation at the time of installation and for maintenance. The clearance of vegetation either during installation or maintenance can be minimized or totally eliminated with ABC. In fact ABC can be fixed onto a tree, wall or roof since it is fully insulated. Clearance of way-leaf is disliked by residents who live along the route and lead to disputes with Authority. This too can be avoided with ABC. Installed very close to a house in a narrow lane
7.
Pilferage is eliminated
One of the biggest complaints against Bare Conductors is the ease of pilferage of electricity. Fully insulated system of ABC prevents pilferage of power ensuring higher revenue to Authority.
9.
Pole sharing
The same pole can be shared by the Electricity Authority and the Telecommunication Authority reducing costs to both. Minimize disruption to aesthetic appearance of the area.
Two Aerial Bundled Cables running parallel to each other. Example of easy augmentation
Unlike Bare Conductors, ABC has a layer of insulation (PE or XLPE) on each conductor, which increases the initial cost compared to a bare conductor system. This type of comparison is grossly unprofessional and unfair. With ABC number of fittings and cost of installation is reduced. Furthermore, improved reliability, which leads to customer satisfaction, higher revenue and reduced cost to Authority, longer durability of system makes ABC far more economical than Bare Conductors. Studies done in Sri Lanka have shown that ABC system is at least 15% less expensive than an equivalent Bare Conductor System. Improved customer satisfaction and safety have not been taken into the study since they cannot be measured objectively. Therefore, ABC system taken as a whole costs at least 25% less than an equivalent bare conductor system. In view of the fact that ABC is a superior system compared to Bare Conductor System, the continued use of the latter system is adopted and justified only where initial capital is a constraint.
ABC really Costs Less than Bare Conductors AND Whats more, it is simply superior.

Packing
All Aerial Bundled Cables are supplied in non-returnable wooden drums suitable for out door storage. These drums can be treated using suitable preservatives according to the specifications given by customers. Drum lengths and sizes & designs of drums also can be arranged to suit the customer needs.

Phase Conductor
Hard drawn Aluminium with a purity of designation of 1350 as per NFC 31-122 is insulated with black weather resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) especially developed for damp and arid tropical climates and to withstand wide differences in temperature.
WHY XLPE?
Cross Linked Polyethylene cables are durable, economical, light weight and the properties of the insulation offer considerable advantages over Polyethylene (PE) where current ratings and short circuit ratings are of the primary importance. The nominal conductor operating temperature of XLPE insulated cable is 900C where as that of PE is only 700C. The cable has the advantage of simplicity in construction, lightness in weight besides its excellent electrical, heat, mechanical and anti-chemical corrosion properties. XLPE cable withstands small bending radius and allowing for easy handling and installation. Furthermore, the splicing and terminating methods for XLPE cables are very simple in comparison with those for other kinds of cables.
Neutral Messenger
The messenger, which is also the neutral conductor, is made of heat treated high tensile Aluminium Alloy and is insulated with XLPE.
Pilot Cores
Normally 1.5mm insulated with XLPE.
