Underground cabling plays a crucial role in providing 24X7 reliable power supply. It offers lots of benefits such as resilience’s in severe weather conditions, ease of network expansion in densely populated areas and protection against theft. Underground cabling by distribution utilities are preliminarily being done under government’s Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS). Underground Cabling is important for network expansion in transmission segment since these cables entail minimum right of way (RoW) and required fewer clearances. While underground cabling is undoubtedly an expensive choice, demand continues to be driven by the need of reliable supply, safety and aesthetic considerations, and the availability of clearances. The paper presents the” Underground Cabling” that needs to be adopted to reduce the aggregate technical & commercial (AT&C) losses. The advent of Underground cabling’s will have helped in providing efficient & reliable power supply.
