Indian utilities presently have over head distribution systems employing mainly bare over head lines. Metallic screened ABC cables are used where transitions through trees, proximity to buildings or strong winds which lead to conductor clashing can cause safety and reliability issues.
The enhanced safety and reliability benefits of ABC cable comes at a cost which is several times the constructional cost of bare over head lines and therefore inhibits the utility engineer to employ the ABC system except where unacceptably high fault records with bare overhead lines justify the additional expense.
A typical 11kV ABC or 33kV ABC cable comprises of three single phase cables twisted around a steel/aluminium alloy messenger (a wire that supports the three cables). Each single phase cable comprises of a round, compacted stranded aluminium conductor with a semi conductive screen extrusion over it followed by XLPE insulation (3.6mm for 11kV and 8.8mm for 33kV) with a bonded semi-conductive layer over the insulation, copper tape shielding and an outer PVC/PE outer sheath. This construction very well conveys to the reader, the reasons for the very high costs of ABC as compared to bare over head lines. The limited deployment of 11/33 kV ABC cables on cost considerations, leads to loss of revenue, inconvenience to consumers and cases of electrocution in some cases.
An alternative approach to enhance the safety and reliability of bare over head lines while minimizing the additional cost is the use of Covered Conductor Systems.
