LoviSil®
Transition Joints
Many medium-voltage grids still rely on PILC cables that are prone to drying, ageing and failure.
When connecting these to modern XLPE or EPR cables, standard joints often lead to reliability risks.
LoviSil® transition joints offer a proven, silicone-based solution tha
-Prevents cable drying
-Extends asset lifetime
-Ensures reliable connections in harsh environments
Reliable transition joints for PILC to polymeric cables (XLPE/EPR)
The LoviSil® transition joint for PILC to XLPE cables (12–36 kV) offers a reliable solution for connecting polymeric insulated cables to paper-insulated cables in medium-voltage networks. The liquid silicone protects paper-insulated cables against drying out and aging for a long time. In this way, existing infrastructure is preserved while grid operators and industry efficiently modernise their medium-voltage grid.
When should you use Lovisil® Transition Joints
- When upgrading PILC networks to polymeric cables
- When asset lifetime extension is required
- In contaminated soil or harsh environmental conditions
- When failure risk must be minimized (critical infrastructure)
Applications
When your network still consists largely of PILC cables , LoviSil® transition joints offer a reliable and durable solution. They help to keep the existing network in optimal condition and enable a secure connection to new polymeric cables . Thanks to the innovative silicone technology , the LoviSil® transition joint is a future-proof choice to strengthen medium-voltage grids and prepare them for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
