LoviSil® straight through joint: reliable solution for Cape Verde
Cape Verde is struggling with many power outages due to moisture in cables. With LoviSil® straight joints , Lovink Enertech offers a proven solution to solve these problems and improve the energy infrastructure.
Challenge: moisture and disturbances in the grid
On the islands of Sal, Boa Vista and São Vicente, humid conditions cause disturbances that sometimes last up to 30 hours. This leads to dissatisfaction among end users and requires a sustainable solution.
Reliable solution with LoviSil® connection joint
For the upgrading of the grid, Electro Cabo Verde opted for LoviSil® straight joints. These sleeves are based on liquid silicone technology, ideal for wet areas:
- Silicone forms a flexible, insulating rubber on contact with moisture
- Prevents water ingress and extends cable life
- Fast delivery time and high delivery reliability
Successful training and implementation
In October 2014, 11 jointers from Electro Cabo Verde and contractor MTCV followed a 2-day training course provided by Dennis Jansen, Export Manager at Lovink Enertech. The jointers were enthusiastic about the easy and quick assembly. Almost 100 LoviSil® MV cable joints have now been installed and contribute to a trouble-free network.
