Aerial Bundled Cable

Why Choose Us?

The system offers high thermal stability, allowing it to support continuous load in LT overhead networks. Its insulation and bundled design provide strong mechanical protection, while the high-quality XLPE insulation ensures low dielectric losses. It is also UV-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor LT distribution environments. Additionally, the lightweight aluminium conductors and small bending radius make installation flexible and convenient.

Standards-Compliant Construction

Designed and manufactured strictly as per IS 14255 and Customer Specs for LT aerial bunched cables up to 1.1 kV, ensuring safety and reliability in overhead networks.

High Electrical & Thermal Performance

XLPE/PE insulation suitable for LT overhead service with excellent electrical strength, allowing continuous operation under Indian climatic conditions.

Strong Mechanical Support

Centrally placed Aluminium Alloy Messenger provides the required mechanical strength for overhead spans and ensures long-term stability.

Weather & UV Resistance

Insulation is black, UV-resistant and suitable for outdoor installation in harsh environmental conditions, as specified in IS 14255.

Safety Enhancement Over Bare Conductors

Reduced chances of faults, short circuits, and power theft compared to bare conductor lines; ideal for congested and tree-prone areas.

Easy Installation & Maintenance

Twisted construction over the messenger allows quick installation, improved sag management, and simplified maintenance operations.

Applications

  • Low-voltage overhead power distribution up to 1.1 kV
  • Residential, commercial and industrial distribution networks
  • Urban lanes, congested streets and areas with heavy tree-cover
  • Replacement of bare overhead conductors to improve safety
  • Power supply for rural electrification and utility networks
  • Service lines from poles to consumer premises
