Bindawala Cable Conductors
We, BINDAWALA CABLES & CONDUCTORS LIMITED are engaged in the manufacturing LT PVC & XLPE Cable, backed by the rich experience in the manufacture of All Aluminium Conductors Steel Reinforced (ACSR) and All Aluminium Alloy Condcutors (AAAC) since 1964. The conductors are made to Indian Standard Specification (IS), British Specification (BS), American Standard Specification (ASTM) and Canadian Standard Specification (CSA).
The phenomenal growth of the Company is a tribute to its dynamic management, dedicated work force, constant technology upgrading and transparent work culture.
AERIAL BUNCHED CABLES FOR OVERHEAD DISTRIBUTION
Aerial Bunched Cable (ABC) is a 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, forest areas, coastal areas etc.
ABC is also considered to be the best choice for power distribution congested urban areas with narrow lanes and by-lanes. In developing urban complex, ABC is the better choice be- cause of flexibility for rerouting as demanded by changes in urban development plan.
Bindawala Cable Conductors Materials
Since, the tension from the current carrying conductor is totally removed by introdcution of messenger wire the operating temperature of the conductor is 90°C as against 75°C of the bare conductor under tension thereby allowing ABC to carry current equivalent to that of bare conductor of the same size.
Aluminium conductors confirm to IS:8130 (Class-II)
Stranded high tensile galvanized steel messanger wire conforms to IS:398 (Part-2). Alternatively Aluminium Alloy messenger wire conforms to IS:398 (Part IV)
XLPE and HDPE insulation of Power Conductors conform to IS:7098 (Part I & II) and IS: 6474 respectively.
Bindawala Advantages
- 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 networks.
- Multiple circuits of Power and Telephone cables could be strung in the same set of poles or any other supports like walls etc.
- High insulation resistance to earth in all seasons and polluted atmospheres. Negligible leakage currents and low losses.
- High capacitance and low inductance leading to low impedance of lines.
- Better adaptability to run concurrently with existing over-head bare conductor system without any interference.
- It can be over hung in dense vegetation and forests.
- Longer spans and longer distance lines are possible with better system stability.
- Lower voltage drop, high current capacities, VIS-A-VIS Better Voltage Regulation.
- Maintenance is very easy.
- Total Lines costs are reduced.
- Additional connections can be easily and quickly made with hot-line connectors. Accidental short circuit eliminated.
- AB Cables are much safer than bare Conductors.

Bindawala Reliability Safety Flexibility
ABC Cables are highly reliable and insulation has been developed to withstand heat, cold and intense sunlight. Disturbance and faults occur five to ten times more often in open wire line than in ABC lines. There is no risk in touching the live cable and the insulation reduces the number of short circuits and over-voltages in overhead cables during thunderstorm. Few hardware acces- sories are needed as each one can be used with many different sizes of cable. This makes installation and storage easier. Streets can easily be get lit at little extra cost by using the ABC Cables that have an extra conduxtor for lighting. The cable can be supplied with one or two insulated conductors for street lighting.
