Why Medium Voltage Aerial Bunched Cables Are a Smarter Choice for Overhead Power Lines

In the world of power distribution, ensuring safety, efficiency, and reduced power losses is crucial. One solution that stands out for overhead distribution—especially in challenging terrains or urban spaces—is the Medium Voltage Aerial Bunched Cable (MV ABC).

At Dynamic Cables Limited, our MV ABCs are engineered for superior performance, designed with insulation that resists heat, cold, and strong sunlight. This insulation reduces faults dramatically when compared to traditional bare conductor systems.


What Makes MV ABC Cables Unique?

Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC) offer an insulated alternative to conventional overhead bare conductors, significantly reducing the risk of electrical faults, short circuits, and power theft. The cable’s structure includes a messenger wire that supports the current-carrying conductors, eliminating mechanical stress on the core.

Unlike open wire lines, ABC systems experience 5–10 times fewer faults, particularly during adverse weather conditions like thunderstorms. They also require fewer hardware accessories, simplifying installation and reducing both initial setup and long-term maintenance costs.


Key Advantages of MV ABC Cables

Improved Safety and Reliability
The risk of touching live wires is nearly eliminated due to insulation. These cables reduce short circuits and overvoltage during storms.

Lower Fault Rate
Thanks to better insulation, MV ABCs offer strong protection against both line and ground faults.

Minimal Power Loss
Low leakage currents and high insulation resistance make them highly efficient across all seasons—even in polluted environments.

Adaptability with Existing Infrastructure
They can run parallel with existing bare conductors without interference, making them easy to retrofit.

Reduced Voltage Drop
Their high capacitance and low inductance help ensure better voltage regulation and lower power loss.

Theft-Resistant and Tamper-Proof
MV ABC cables are difficult to tap illegally, making them ideal for regions prone to electricity theft.

Ideal for Tough Terrains
These cables can be safely installed in forests, narrow alleys, and hilly areas where laying underground cables is expensive or impractical.

Hotline Connectors for Quick Additions
New connections can be made swiftly without disturbing existing lines.

Higher Current Capacity
The messenger wire carries the tension, allowing the insulated conductor to operate at a higher temperature (up to 90°C), matching the current capacity of bare conductors of the same size.


Common Applications

  • Rural and densely populated urban areas

  • Forests and regions with dense vegetation

  • Hilly or mountainous terrain

  • Theft-prone zones

  • Areas needing improved voltage/current capacity

  • Narrow streets and lanes with space limitations

  • Power grids requiring low-maintenance, high-efficiency upgrades
