Overhead Conductors

ACSR / Covered Conductors are widely used for overhead power transmission and distribution systems. These conductors are designed to deliver high mechanical strength, excellent electrical conductivity, and long service life.

KM Cables & Conductors manufacture a complete range of AAC, ACSR, AAAC, AACSR, ACASR and other special conductors as per IS:398 (Part 1 & Part 2) and customer-specific requirements.

Approved by all Electricity Boards, these conductors are suitable for 33kV / 11kV / 1.1kV systems and can be supplied as bare or covered conductors for enhanced safety and reliability.

Product Range

• AAC (All Aluminium Conductor)

• ACSR (Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced)

• AAAC (All Aluminium Alloy Conductor)

• AACSR (Aluminium Alloy Conductor Steel Reinforced)

• ACASR (Aluminium Conductor Aluminized Steel Reinforced)

• Covered Conductors (as per requirement)

Applications

Aerial Bunched Cable (ABC) is an advanced and reliable solution for overhead power distribution, designed as a safer alternative to conventional bare conductor systems. These cables are designed, manufactured, and tested in accordance with IS:14255 and relevant international standards.

ABC systems offer enhanced safety, reduced power losses, and overall cost efficiency by minimizing installation, operation, and maintenance expenses. They are especially suitable for rural electrification, theft-prone areas, congested urban locations, and difficult terrains such as hilly, forest, and coastal regions.

Available in 1.1kV & 11kV (E) XLPE insulated variants, ABC cables are ideal for both LT and HT power distribution networks.

Aerial Bunched Cable (ABC) is an advanced solution for overhead power distribution, developed as a safer and more reliable alternative to conventional bare conductor systems. These cables are designed, manufactured, and tested in accordance with IS:14255 and other international standards.

ABC cables provide enhanced safety, reduced power losses, and overall system economy by lowering installation, maintenance, and operating costs. They are ideally suited for rural electrification, theft-prone areas, and challenging terrains such as hilly, forest, and coastal regions.

Due to their compact and insulated design, ABC cables are also highly suitable for congested urban areas with narrow streets and for developing urban complexes where flexibility and re-routing are required.
Available in 1.1kV & 11kV (E) XLPE insulated variants for LT and HT distribution networks.
