What is ABC Cable?
ABC cable refers to a bundled assembly of insulated phase conductors used for overhead power lines. Unlike conventional bare conductors, ABC cables feature each phase conductor individually insulated and bundled together, typically with a bare neutral conductor. This innovative design addresses multiple challenges in power distribution, particularly in urban and sensitive environments.
