Reducing energy losses on single core polymeric cables with crossbonding
Medium voltage cable systems demand optimized current flow and minimized energy losses to maintain high operational efficiency and system reliability. In long distance distribution networks, crossbonding is beneficial to cancel out circulating currents and reduce thermal load on cable screens. A proper crossbonding solution must ensure long-term stability, ease of integration, and minimal interference with other components.
Solution
LoviSil® Crossbonding Splice
- Integrated Crossbonding Conductor: The LoviSil® cable splice includes a flexible crossbonding conductor, eliminating the need for separate crossbonding kits or additional joints.
- Reduction of Ohmic Losses: The splice significantly minimizes current flow in the cable screen and grounding paths, which translates into lower power dissipation and higher system efficiency.
