What is Cable ?
In Electrical terms-Cables are an insulated
wire or wires having a protective casing and
used for transmitting electricity

What is High Voltage Cable?

Cables that are used when underground
transmission is required.These cables are laid
in ducts or may be buried in the ground.
Examples of Cables
Aerial Bundle Cables (ABC)

Conductor used is aluminium

Insulation-cross-linked polyethylene which
conforms the physical and electrical property
required in specification.
Messenger conductor is made up of aluminium
slice and magnesium alloys.

Advantages
*The inspection and maintenance time is less.
*Electricity theft is almost zero.

Disdavantages
*Shorter spans and number of poles due to
increase in weight.
*Cable itself came in high price.
Examples of Cables

ACSR (Aluminium Conductor Steel-

Reinforced Cables)

Type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded

conductor typically used in overhead power lines.
Steel strands strength characteristics to support
the weight of the cables and to provide tensioning
of the conductor between the towers of the
transmission lines.
Aluminium Chosen for its high conductivity and
low weight. It is use to carry current
 Why we use High Voltage Cable?

To transmit electric power at high voltage over long distance.

high-voltage cables have the structural elements of one or more

conductors, insulation, and a protective jacket
 ADVANTAGES
Reduced line current for
a given amount of power

Better Reduced
efficiency power loss

Improve voltage
regulation
