Key Features of Aerial Bunched Cables

• Less fault rate on account of good protection against line and ground fault by high winds or falling trees or birds
• 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 run concurrently with existing over-head bare conductor system without any interference.
• High capacitance and low inductance leading to low impedance of lines.
• Lower voltage drop
• Higher current carrying capacities, vis-à-vis better Voltage Regulation.
• Longer spans and longer distance lines are possible with better system stability.
• Safer than bare Conductors.
• Can be over hung in dense vegetation and forests.
• Additional connections can be easily and quickly made with hot-line connectors.
• Total lines costs are reduced.
• Maintenance is very easy.
• Very difficult to tap, thus reducing theft which leads to lower distribution loses.
• In theft prone areas.
• As replacement of bare lines in rural areas, in woods and in other localities & narrow streets where the space is limited.
• As replacement of bare lines where reliability of supply is of prime importance.
• As replacement of bare lines where high degree of stability of supply voltage is important
• In hilly terrains where cost of erection of overhead lines or under ground cable becomes very high.
• As reinforcement of existing system without increasing voltage.
• For temporary supplies.
