In the construction of low-voltage power distribution networks, especially in overhead line laying scenarios, the safety, transmission efficiency, and environmental adaptability of cables directly determine the stability of power grid operation and operation and maintenance costs. The Low Voltage Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC), with XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation material and aluminum conductor as its core configuration, has become a preferred solution in the low-voltage power distribution field due to its unique bundled structure design. It is widely used in urban distribution network branches, rural power grid transformation, low-voltage power supply in industrial parks, and other scenarios, providing a reliable guarantee for the "last mile" transmission of electricity from the district transformer to end-users.​ From the perspective of core materials, "XLPE insulation" is the key to the safety and durability of this cable. Compared with traditional PVC insulation, XLPE material has a restructured molecular structure through cross-linking technology, with significant advantages: First, it has excellent temperature resistance, with a long-term working temperature of 90℃ and a maximum short-circuit temperature resistance of 250℃. In the case of high-temperature exposure in summer or short-term overload of the line, there will be no insulation softening or cracking, effectively avoiding leakage or short-circuit risks, and adapting to the common load fluctuation scenarios in low-voltage power distribution. Second, it has high insulation resistance and low dielectric loss, which can greatly reduce the leakage loss during power transmission. Taking a 10km long cable as an example, the annual leakage loss of XLPE insulation is only 1/5 of that of PVC insulation, which can save power enterprises tens of thousands of kWh of electricity every year. Third, it has outstanding environmental protection performance, releasing no toxic halogen gases when burned and having low smoke density (meeting IEC 61034 standards, with smoke density below 200 ODU). Even if a fault occurs in densely populated residential areas or commercial areas, it can reduce harm to humans and the environment. In addition, the XLPE insulation layer also has excellent UV resistance and aging resistance. In the outdoor overhead environment, it can still maintain good mechanical strength after 10 years of exposure, with a service life of more than 25 years, greatly reducing the frequency and cost of later maintenance.​ The "aluminum conductor" endows the cable with lightweight and cost-effective characteristics, perfectly meeting the needs of low-voltage overhead scenarios. The density of aluminum is only 2.7g/cm³, which is much lower than that of copper (8.9g/cm³). Under the same cross-sectional area, the weight of the aluminum core cable is only about 30% of that of the copper core cable. This advantage greatly reduces the load-bearing pressure of overhead poles and towers. In the construction of low-voltage power distribution lines, lighter reinforced concrete poles can be used instead of heavy steel poles, reducing the cost of a single pole by 30%-40%. At the same time, the lightweight feature simplifies the transportation and installation process - the copper core cable that originally required 3-4 people to cooperate with the erection can be completed by only 2-3 people using the aluminum core ABC cable, and the construction efficiency is improved by about 30%, which is especially suitable for line laying in complex terrain areas such as rural areas and mountainous areas. In addition, the surface of the aluminum core can quickly form a dense oxide film, effectively resisting atmospheric corrosion. Even in rainy, high-humidity or slightly industrial polluted environments, it can still maintain stable electrical conductivity without frequent conductor replacement, further reducing operation and maintenance costs.​ As an "aerial bundled cable (ABC)", its structural design brings a revolutionary optimization to low-voltage power distribution. Traditional low-voltage overhead lines mostly use single conductors erected separately, requiring insulators, lightning arresters and other accessories to be installed for each conductor, which not only occupies a large space on the poles and towers but also is prone to line faults caused by branch contact, bird nesting, etc. The low-voltage ABC cable binds multiple conductors (usually 1 phase line + 1 neutral line, or 3 phase lines + 1 neutral line) into a bundled structure through special equipment, and the outer layer is wrapped with an XLPE insulation sheath to form a whole. This design greatly reduces the space occupied by the line. The erection width of a single bundled cable is only 1/3 of that of the traditional multiple single conductors, which can increase the line capacity on the existing poles and towers, meeting the demand of "increasing capacity without increasing poles" in urban distribution networks. At the same time, the bundled structure avoids friction between conductors and interference from external foreign objects, reducing the line failure rate by more than 60%. Especially in rural areas with dense trees or urban areas with good greening, it can effectively reduce power outages caused by branch scratches and improve power supply reliability.​ In terms of application scenarios, the low-voltage ABC cable has extremely strong adaptability. In urban distribution networks, it can be used as a low-voltage branch line in residential communities and commercial streets, erected along road green belts or building exterior walls, without affecting the urban landscape and facilitating later maintenance. In the rural power grid transformation, it can adapt to complex terrains such as plains, hills, and mountains, solving the problem of transmission of scattered electricity for remote farmers and contributing to the upgrading of rural electrification. In industrial parks, it can be used as a low-voltage auxiliary line for workshops to supply power to workshop lighting and small production equipment. The chemical corrosion resistance of XLPE insulation and the anti-interference of the bundled structure can resist the impact of industrial dust and slight oil pollution, ensuring the stability of production electricity. In addition, in temporary power distribution scenarios (such as infrastructure construction sites and rural markets), its characteristics of fast erection and convenient recycling can also meet short-term electricity demand and improve electricity flexibility.​ In summary, the Low Voltage Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC) - XLPE Insulated Aluminum Conductor has become a high-quality choice in the low-voltage power distribution field due to the safety and durability of XLPE insulation, the lightweight and cost-effectiveness of aluminum conductors, and the efficiency and convenience of the bundled structure. It can not only meet the low-voltage power transmission needs in different scenarios but also balance performance, cost, and construction efficiency, helping power enterprises reduce construction and operation and maintenance costs, improve the stability of the distribution network, and provide users with safe and continuous power supply. It is an important equipment to promote the upgrading of low-voltage distribution networks and the efficient use of energy.
