35kv Cold-Shrinkable and Heat-Shrinkable Cable Accessories in Wind Farms


The development of new energy in China is now on the fast track, and wind power generation accounts for a significant share of it. Many wind farms are built on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, and the 35kV collector lines of wind farms are laid using direct burial cables to protect the grassland vegetation and the overall appearance of the grassland. From the operation situation, the cable intermediate head has the phenomenon of discharge.

How Important are Cold-Shrinkable Cable Accessories in the Cable Line?


Cold-shrinkable cable accessories are a kind of prefabricated cable accessories that can be constructed at room temperature without heating. The cold-shrinkable power cable accessories are made of imported liquid silicone rubber. After installation, they always maintain a proper radial pressure on the cable body. The interface characteristics are relatively good, and there will be no creepage breakdown due to cable operation. The stress control part is integrated with the main insulation, which effectively solves the problem of electric stress concentration at the outer shielding section of the cable and ensures reliable insulation. It is a very important cable accessory.

The Flame Retardant Grade of Cable is Related to the Safety of Life. Have You Chosen the Right One?


With the development of wire and cable production technology, there are more and more types of wires and cables. Even cables of the same kind have different specifications and grades. However, their requirements for fire resistance and flame retardancy have been ignored by people, and their grades are not up to standard, which easily lays huge hidden dangers for fires. If all the highest levels are used, there will be a little “waste”. Then several elements of the flame retardant grade of wires and cables should be considered in the project engineering design? Here are some suggestions for you, hoping to help you.

Can the Waterproof Piercing Clamp be Used Directly Under Water?


It should be said that the piercing clamp is a relatively large choice in the implementation of the current cable and wire branching program. However, in many branching programs, most people will have a question in their minds, is the piercing clamp waterproof? Can the waterproof piercing clamp be directly buried or used underwater? Let’s take a practical case for analysis.
