ABC cables are commonly used for distributing power in residential areas, rural regions, and areas where underground cabling is not feasible or cost-effective.
Medium voltage ABC cables offer advantages such as reduced installation time, lower maintenance requirements, and improved resistance to external factors like weather and environmental conditions.
They provide a reliable and efficient solution for power distribution in various settings.
