Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Aerial Bunch Cables, overhead distribution benefits, and safety standards.

ABC bundles multiple insulated conductors (phase + neutral) twisted together and suspended overhead, unlike bare conductor which has no insulation this significantly reduces the risk of short circuits, accidental contact, and unauthorized power theft/tapping.

ABC's insulation reduces fault risk from tree contact, bird strikes, and object contact, and its bundled design lowers the chance of line-to-line faults compared to spaced bare conductors a common reason DISCOMs and industrial campuses upgrade to ABC.

XLPE-insulated cores are rated up to 90°C, while PVC/PE variants are rated up to 70°C, depending on the specification chosen.

IS:14255 and IEC 60502/1.

Yes while insulated conductor may cost slightly more upfront than bare wire, ABC typically reduces installation complexity (no need for wide clearances/spacers), maintenance frequency, and fault-related downtime, lowering total lifecycle cost.
