Torsion Resistant Turbine Power Cables

Our range of stranded copper torsion resistant turbine cables from 600V to 3kV, support power production in Wind Turbine towers and rotor engines; for renewable energy installations both onshore an offshore.

As movement of the wind turbine engine and rotor blade naturally causes torque on the components, this range of torsion resistant cables have been specifically designed to withstand application, use, and or environmental elements that may cause torsional stress; particularly on the cables themselves.

Torsion Resistant Turbine Power cable specification

Our torsion resistant PVC-PVC 600V cable is suitable for wind farm turbine applications, designed with increased tolerance to torsion, with a Special PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation and outer sheath which provides flexibility at low minus temperatures. Additionally, this 600V cable is flame retardant and resistant against oil as well as UV elements. The torsion resistance is rated at ±140^o/m

The torsion resistant Loop Screened LSZH 1kV (torsion resistance ±100 ^o/m) is a power cable designed for special application conditions in wind turbines, of which they may be under medium mechanical stress, for operation outdoors or under permanent effect of seawater; such as offshore wind turbine installations. This loop screened 1kV cable is insulated with robust EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) and a non-toxic robust HF-EVA (Halogen Free Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) sheath to protect against salt water spray, whilst being resistant against oil, UV an ozone elements. The same insulation and sheathing materials are used for our torsion resistant LSZH 1kV turbine power cable (torsion ±144^om) and the LSZH 3kV turbine cable (torsion ±180^o/m); again specifically designed to support increased tolerance to the mechanical stresses of torsion and suitable for connecting generators to transformers.
