Overhead Power Distribution Aerial Power Cable Hard Drawing AL Conductor

Why used Aluminium to make ABC ?

Because it is great at conducting a current and copper is expensive (so are the other alternatives like silver and gold)
Aluminium provies much better conductivity to weight ratio meaning copper is ofcourse the better conductor but it is also a lot heavier than aluminum.

Aluminium is 2.74g/cm³ and copper is 8.64 g/cm³ so copper is three times as heavier and if you used that in cables it would be reallly messed up and dangerous and costly as you would need better material or infrastructure to hold the copper wire in air compared to aluminium which is easy to hold in air and is less dense and would be suitable for electrical cables.

Description

The aerial Bundled cables designed for overhead distribution lines have an insulated neutral messenger made of AAAC, which the insulated aluminium phase conductor are helically wound over it. Cables are rated at 0.6/1(1.2)kV and conform to IEC60502.

Applications
Aerial Bundle Cable (ABC cable) is a very innovative concept for overhead power distribution as compared to the conventional bare conductor overhead distribution system. It provides higher level of safety and reliability, lower power

losses and ultimate system economy by reducing installation,maintenance and operative cost. The cables are designed for aerial power lines and room-entrance wires with AC rated voltage 1kV and below.

Standards
GB/T12527,1179 ,IEC60502 ,NFC 33-209 ,BS 7870 ,ANSI/ICEA S-76-474 AS/NZS 3560.1 etc.
CHINT can also design and produce for special application requirement.
