Wind turbines place unusual demands on cable. Inside the nacelle and the twisting tower loop, cables must endure constant movement and torsion, wide temperature swings, vibration and weather — for decades — while carrying significant power.
This calls for specialised flexible windmill cables, typically using finely stranded conductors and tough, flexible elastomeric or cross-linked insulation for fatigue, heat and weather resistance. Such cables are made in ratings spanning low voltage up to medium/high voltage for the turbine and its grid connection.
APAR Industries is a leading supplier of cables to the wind-energy sector, with flexible windmill cables (available up to 72 kV) built to applicable global standards. To discuss wind-energy cable requirements, contact the APAR team.
