K-Electric inaugurates installation of Aerial Bundle Cable Project in Liaquatabad Town; Initiative will help reduce losses and theft – K-Electric

Karachi, May 26, 2014 (PPI-OT): The inauguration ceremony of the installation of ABC Cable (Aerial Bundle Cable) was organized by KE (K-Electric) today. According to their press statement, the inauguration was performed by MNA, Sufyan Yousuf and MPA, Azeem Farooqi along with the KE team.

The installation project of Rs. 100 Million investment by KE will involve converting 26 PMTs including 2 sub-stations into high tension ABC (Aerial Bundled Cables) based supply system in Liaquatabad. These cables make it almost impossible for nearby residents to put the illegal ‘Hook Connections’ or in layman terms, Kunda.

This new system of electricity transmission will minimize the voltage fluctuations and breakage of wires while enhancing the useful life of PMTs in Liaquatabad. The residents of Liaquatabad will now be able to enjoy a more consistent supply of electricity through reduced losses and theft.

The advantages of thermoplastic ABC conversion include control of losses caused due to illegal hook connection, prevention of theft of copper conductor, prevention of fatal accidents and minimizing of tripping, which is a norm for such High-Loss and Very High-Loss areas. It will help in higher current rating and lower short circuit rating, higher insulation and moisture resistance and better resistance to surge currents.

The ABC does not need tree trimming, is moisture resistant, and is particularly useful in streets with tree plantations, narrow roads, and prevents problem of clearances to buildings. Such initiatives are being conducted in different areas of the city, and the results have been fruitful not only for KE but for the residents.
