Key Features of Aerial Bunched Dielectric Insulated Cable

• Safest system because phase conductors are insulated, no risk of danger of accidental touching live conductor.
• Less fault rage on account of good protection against line and ground fault by high winds or falling trees or bird especially in hilly areas & forests as encountered in rural distribution networks.
• High insulation resistance to earth in all seasons and polluted atmospheres.
• Negligible leakage currents and low losses.
• Multiple circuits of power and telephone cables could be strung in the same set of poles or any other supports like walls etc.
• Better adaptability to “in concurrently with existing over-head bare conductor system without any interference.
• High capacitance and low inductance leading to low impedance of lines.
• Insulation of conductors also helps in preventing corrosion of the conductor.
• Cores being insulated, the chances of power thefts are eliminated.
• Life of Transformers increased as the supply interruptions are minimized.
• In theft prone areas.
• As replacement of bare lines in rural areas, in woods, other localities & narrow street where space is limited.
• As replacement of bare lines where reliability of supply is of prime importance and where high degree of stability of supply voltage is of importance.
• In hilly terrains where cost of erection of overhead lines of under ground cable becomes very high.
• Where space is limited like those in densely populated area, dense forests.
• As reinforcement of existing system without increasing voltage.
• For temporary supplies.
