Lovink trifurcate splices offer a reliable solution in high water area Venice
Ensuring reliable cable splices in high-water conditions
Venice, Italy, faces significant challenges due to its high groundwater levels. Frequent flooding often leads to power outages, disrupting daily life and business operations. To address these issues, Lovink Enertech introduced its innovative LoviSil® trifurcate cable splices, offering a robust solution for the city’s unique environmental conditions.
The challenge: high groundwater levels in Venice
Venice’s infrastructure is vulnerable to flooding, with groundwater levels frequently rising above the surface. Traditional cable splicing methods, such as heat-shrink technology, often fail under these moist conditions, leading to increased maintenance costs and power disruptions.
The solution: LoviSil® MV Trifurcate Splices
Lovink Enertech’s LoviSil® trifurcate splices utilize liquid silicone technology to provide superior insulation and moisture resistance. When exposed to water, the silicone cures into a flexible, water-resistant rubber, forming a reliable seal that prevents moisture ingress. This technology ensures consistent performance even in high-water environments.
Succesfull implementation in Verona
In collaboration with ENEL, Italy’s primary energy provider, Lovink Enertech conducted a successful field trial in Verona, located in the province of Venezia. Two LoviSil® trifurcate splices were installed in areas with visible high groundwater levels. Despite the challenging conditions, the installation process was straightforward, and the splices performed reliably. Splicers reported high satisfaction with the ease of installation and the splices’ effectiveness in preventing moisture ingress.
Key benefits of LoviSil® cable splices
- Superior Moisture Resistance: The liquid silicone insulation forms a flexible, water-resistant barrier, preventing moisture ingress and ensuring long-term reliability.
- Ease of Installation: The modular design simplifies the installation process, reducing labor time and minimizing the risk of errors.
- Versatility: LoviSil® MV splices are compatible with various cable types and sizes, making them suitable for diverse applications.
