Aerial Bunched Cables

"midlite" brand Aerial Bunded Cables are manufactured in conformance to IS:14255/1995 or as per customer's specification. Most of the faults in overhead power supply system occur due to failure in transmission lines, resulting in immense loss and inconvenience to consumers. The main weakness of overhead lines are that its power carrying conductors are bare. To overcome, this deficiency, Aerial Bunched Cables Systems have been introduced at many places across the world. Aerial Bunded Cables are basically a compromise construction between power cables and overhead conductors. As far as basic construction goes there are three or four power carrying conductors suitably insulated and laid around a bare or insulated weight - carrying conductor which also serves as earth/neutral conductor. The cable is hanged on tranission poles/towers as per suitabliity. Since, the cores are insulated the chances of faults reduces to a great extent.

Constructional Details:
Power and Neutral Core: The conductor is compared of H2 or H4 grade Aluminium of Class 2 Grade conforming to IS:8130/84. Popular sizes are 16 sq. mm to 95 sq. mm. The insulation is either XLPE or Polythene as per requirements.
Messenger Conductor: These are made of either galvanized steel or aluminium alloys.
Core Identification: By embossing numbers 1,2,3 on sheath of insulated cores
