The Aluminum Alloy Stranded Conductors have lower resistance resulting in superior
electrical performance of lines i.e. lower voltage drop and reduced power losses. Because
of lesser weighty, spans can be increased which means lesser supports. These are

corrosion resistant and hence suitable in coastal areas. Another advantage is elimination of
theft of conductors.

3. Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC System) for LT Over Head Lines

In ABC System, the insulated Aluminum Alloy Conductors (3 or 4 numbers as required) are
twisted around high strength aluminium alloy bearer wire which carries the main weight and
also serves as the earth-cum-neutral wire. The phase conductors are not under tension.
The advantages of system are: 1) The system is very safe and LT faults are practically
eliminated, interruptions of supply are minimized and the life of the transformers is
increased. 2) The problem of tree cutting is minimized. 3) Due to reduction of height of
poles, elimination of insulators and associated hardware. The sizes specified are:

These transformers have built in LTCB which is controlled by special electronic


device to provide fool-proof protection against excessive overloads, system faults and low
oil level. A signal light will indicate that the transformer is being overloaded so that
necessary action can be taken to either relieve load or to augment the transformers
capacity. However, pending this action, transformer will not get damaged. Another special
feature is the provision of automatic closing of the circuit breaker. This will result in
automatic restoration of supply following temporary faults. Even in case of tripping due to
excessive overloading, supply will be automatically restored after a short interval to allow for

iii) Communication system

This scheme will ensure round the clock supply to the villages for domestic, commercial and
industries load whereas agricultural load can be subjected to load rostering. This will
reduce peak demand on the system and also the losses.

38. Low Cost Unattended 33/11 KV S/S

In this layout, maintenance free vacuum/SF-6 11 KV auto-reclosures are used on 11


KV feeders in the place of CBs. As 80% of the line faults are temporary nature, these 11
KV auto reclosers clear the faults in 1 or 2 trials, thus eliminating the need for an operator.
As the auto-enclosures are designed to function automatically, the provision of maintenance
staff (sub-station operators) is either fully or partially dispensed with and also there is no
need for costly civil works including control room and staff quarters, etc. Due to simple
layout , the sub-station can be set up at practically half the cost of a conventional attended
type station. The requirement of land is also considerably reduced and sub-station can be
commissioned much faster. At the discretion of SEBs, skelton maintenance staff can be
stationed at the sub-station for attending consumer’s complaints and also to carry out
required switching operations in connection with periodical load rostering. The standard lay
out of low cost unattended 33/11 KV sub-station is attached separately.
