LoviSil® cable joints make port area failure-free

The LoviSil® cable joints from Lovink Enertech offer a reliable solution for PILC grids in wet areas. Associated British Ports (ABP) chose this innovative technology to eliminate disruptions in their South Wales ports for good.

Challenge in aging medium-voltage grids

ABP operates 21 ports in Great Britain, five of which in South Wales together form the largest private medium-voltage grid in the region. Some cables date from the 50s and are still in use today. Malfunctions occurred regularly, especially with MV joints on old cables.
Before the switch to Lovink Enertech, an average of one cable joint per year failed, with repair costs between £7,500 and £24,000. ABP therefore decided to invest in quality to guarantee reliability and save costs.

Why LoviSil® cable joints?

  • Designed for areas with high water levels
  • Perfect waterproofing and robust construction
  • Suitable for modern polymer cables
  • Proven interference-free performance
Craig Hooper, Senior Technical Assistant at Newport docks, says: “Our first impression was that it was a well-designed product; more robust than anything we’ve used before. Since the switch, we have not had any more malfunctions.”

Cable joints for extreme conditions

The LoviSil® cable joints have been developed for the Dutch market, where water problems are common. This technology guarantees reliability even in wet cable trays that need to be pumped empty during work. ABP confirms: despite challenging circumstances, no malfunctions occurred.
