LoviSil®
Cross-bonding Joints
Increase Grid Efficiency Without Replacing Cables
Long MV cable routes create:
- induced currents
- energy losses
- overheating risks
Solution
Cross-bonding eliminates circulating currents by balancing electrical loads
Result:
- lower losses
- lower heat
- better performance
LoviSil® cross-bonding joints offer a smart and reliable solution to reduce cable losses in medium-voltage grids. By connecting earth screens crosswise, currents in the screen wires or earth conductors are reduced and cable systems perform more efficiently. The joint integrates seamlessly into the LoviSil® concept and supports grid operators in optimizing modern grids.
✔ Reduce energy losses significantly
✔ Lower operational costs (OPEX)
✔ Prevent overheating and ageing
✔ Increase usable grid capacityContent Goes Here
Applications
LoviSil® cross-bonding joints are particularly suitable for long cable runs, grid reinforcements, underground infrastructure in urban areas and projects where efficiency and reliability are key. The cable joint offers a durable, low-maintenance and technically robust solution for modern energy and industrial medium-voltage networks.
✔ Reduce energy losses significantly
