Wind mill cables up to 33 kV
Description
OverviewThe range includes cables for the entire spectrum: from the substation to the power grid. Aluminium cables and wires are gaining popularity for their reduced weight (70 percent lighter than copper and nearly three times cheaper than copper conductors). They are also preferred for their ability to perform comparably to their copper counterparts with a minimum increase of the cable’s or wire’s diameter. We have expanded our aluminium cable offerings for the wind sector with additional single and multi-conductor power cables. Application Wind cables in the wind turbine’s nacelle place extreme torsional stress on power cables. APAR cables are rigorously tested and can meet this challenge. We also manfuacture power cables for vertical lifts/elevators in wind turbines as aids in climbing up tower walls and accessing the nacelle. Characteristics 1. Temperature range (fixed & flexing): 40°C to +
Cables inside a turbine face torsion from nacelle rotation, vibration, wide temperature swings and UV exposure. Built to withstand repeated twisting over the life of the installation.
