Aerial power cable systems remain a critical backbone of global power transmission and distribution infrastructure. For utilities, EPC contractors, grid developers, and industrial power projects, choosing the right aerial power cable directly impacts safety, system reliability, line efficiency, and lifecycle operating costs. HNBF Power, a global manufacturer of overhead conductors and power cables, delivers high-performance AAC, AAAC, ACSR, ABC, LV power cables, and concentric cables engineered for demanding overhead applications.
What Is an Aerial Power Cable and Where Is It Used?
An aerial power cable is installed above ground and supported by poles, towers, or structures to transmit electricity over short, medium, or long distances. These cables are widely used in:
Urban and rural power distribution networks
Utility grid expansion and upgrades
Transmission and feeder lines
Industrial, mining, and construction power supply
Remote and challenging terrain electrification
Aerial power cables are preferred because they are faster to install, easier to maintain, cost-effective, and ideal for areas where underground cabling is impractical.
