What are the key components and installation methods for a low voltage overhead line?
2025-08-13The most common modern method for low voltage overhead line installation uses Aerial Bundled Cables (ABC). This system combines insulated phase conductors, a neutral conductor (often the support wire), and sometimes a street light conductor, all twisted together into a single bundle. Key components and installation methods include:
-
Self-Supporting Conductors: The bundled design means the neutral wire acts as a messenger cable, supporting the entire weight of the bundle, which simplifies installation.
-
Insulated Wires: The insulation on each wire significantly reduces the risk of electrical faults from contact with trees or other objects.
-
Specialized Accessories: Installation requires specific accessories like tension clamps, suspension clamps, and insulated piercing connectors, all of which must be installed correctly to ensure safety and prevent power loss.
We provide a full range of Overhead Tools and Accessories specifically designed for the safe and efficient installation of ABC cables, ensuring a secure and reliable connection for every consumer.
