    UNIVERSAL CABLES LIMITED UNiSTAaR® AERIAL | BUNCHED | CABLES for Over-head Power Distribution ——UMiSTAaR. "UNISTAR" Aerial Bunched Conductor (ABC)isa very novel concept for Over Head power distribution. When compared to the conventional bare conductor over head distribution system, ABC provides higher safety and reliability, lower power losses and ultimate system economy by reducing installation, maintenance and operative cost. This system is ideal for rural distribution and specially attractive for installation in difficult terrains such as hilly areas, forestareas, coastal areas etc. ABC Js also considered to be the best choice for power distribution in congested urban areas with narrow lanes and by- lanes. In developing urban complex, ABC is the better choice because of flexibility for re-routing as demanded by changes in urban development plan. CONSTRUCTION OF ABC XLPE insulated power conductors of Aluminium ( neutral conductor and street lighting conductors, if and when necessary ) are laid together (twisted) around a high tensile stranded and galvanized steel (Aluminium Alloy may be used but sparingly) bare or insulated messenger wire to form the Aerial Bunched Cable. This assembly is directly strung on to distribution pole / towers by means of standard hardwares available in the market. XLPE is cross-linkable low density polyethylene which is made thermoset by special formulation from base polymer of thermoplastic low density polyethylene. XLPE combines the best electrical properties of LDPE and superior thermo mechanical properties. Details of common types and sizes of ABC a are furnished in this Catalogue: Table1& 1A : 14 kV Aerial Bunched Cables generally to 18:14255 (Three phase and one insulated reduced neutral conductor around bare steel messenger). Table2&2A : 1.1 kV Aerial Bunched Cables generally to 18:14255 (Three phase and one insulated neutral conductor around bare steel messenger), Table3&3A : 11 kV Aerial Bunched Cables generally to 1S:7098/Part-2 (Three phase conductors around bare steel messenger). STRINGING No difficulty is envisaged during stringing of ABC in the conventional method but care shall be taken that insulated conductors do not get damaged during installation. Dragging the ABC on the ground is to be avoided. Tension to be applied during stringing shall be 25% of the breaking load of the messenger wires, This will allow line to have sag within specified limit of 1.5% of the span et the lowest ambienttemperature. JOINTING While mid-span jointing is permissible for 1.1 KV ABC system by conventional technique, our recommendation will be to draw the line in such a way as to bring the joints at the supports. Mid-span jointing is a —unisTaR not at all recommended in the case of HT lines. Under unavoidable circumstances, line tapping at the support points may be allowed through suitably designed clamp connectors/PG clamps. The semi conducting screen continuity shall be maintained at all joints as far as possible to avoid fluctuations during system disturbances. The 3-phase screens may be shorted and earthed through suitable non- linear surge arrestor. Attempting to make a tap-off from power conductors in the region where catenary is under tension is not recommended. SURGE /LIGHTNING ARRESTORS The usage of conventional surge / lightning arrestors on the main line is recommended as in the case of bare conductor lines to protect line and equipment, especially at terminal ends and at open tap-off poles (At leastoneset in every KM span). APPLICATION ABC can be conveniently used : a) as replacement of bare lines in Rural areas, in woods and in other localities where the spareislimited, b) 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 of importance, ) in hilly terrains where cost of erection of overhead lines or under ground cable becomes very high, ©) for temporary supplies. a ADVANTAGES In comparison to bare overhead power distribution lines, ABC has very high reliability in maintaining services because power and neutral conductors are insulated with the best dielectric medium, resulting in the following advantages: 1) Less fault rate on account of good protection against line and ground faults by high winds or falling trees or birds especially in hilly areas & forests as encountered in Rural distribution net- works. 2) High insulation resistance to earth in all seasons and polluted almospheres. Negligible leakage currents and low losses. 3) Multiple circuits of Power and Telephone cables could be strung in the same set of poles oranyother supports. 4) Better adaptability to run concurrently with existing over-head bare conductor system without any interference. 5)High capacitance and low inductance leading tolow impedance of ines. 6) Lower voltage drop, higher current capacities. VIS-A-VIS Better Voltage Regulation. 7) Longer spans and longer distance lines are possible with better system stability. — UnisTaR.
