Talk:Aerial bundled cable

Why bundled?
Why is this technique implemented as separate conductors? Why don't they just string a conventional multicore cable aloft? Possible answers (neither very satisfactory): &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 22:25, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * a cable would be too heavy to lift. Each strand of an ABC is lifted separately and they are twisted together in the air.
 * it is easier to tap into. Usually each house will be taking a single phase supply so only two out of the (usually) four bundled conductors need to be touched.

Why limited to 1kV?
Google "35kV overhead cable" and you'll see there are plenty of manufacturers of overhead high-voltage cable. Also I read an article about how some counties converting all their 50kV lines to ABC to reduce fire hazard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.66.54.78 (talk) 21:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
