Cable joints for rail infrastructure – maximum safety against sheath currents and corrosion

The rail infrastructure sector places extremely high demands on cable joints for medium-voltage (MV) networks. In rail projects, not only heavy mechanical stress plays a role, but also challenging soil conditions. Lovink Enertech offers cable joints and connection solutions for projects to power the railway. These solutions have been specially developed to meet these challenges. Our technology ensures reliable connections even in environments where direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) have an effect. With Lovink, you opt for certainty, sustainability and continuity in critical rail projects.

Our solutions are not only resistant to corrosion and moisture, but also to mechanical stress from heavy transports and changing weather conditions. Thanks to years of experience and innovation, we have been supplying the standard transition joints within the rail infrastructure for decades – a strong proof of trust and quality.

In addition to these transition joints, the loop joints and the branch joints are also often used. In this way, we offer flexibility and security in a market where reliability is crucial.

Our range for rail infrastructure

Lovink offers a complete portfolio for medium-voltage networks up to 36kV, including:

  • Transition joints – For connecting paper-insulated (PILC) cables to polymeric (XPLE, EPR) insulated cables.
  • Straight joints – For connecting polymeric-insulated to polymeric-insulated cables (XLPE, EPR, HPTE) – 1-core and 3-core
  • Branch joints – For secure and durable branch connections (i.e. wind turbine cable to main line) in your network.
  • Repair joints  – For quick and reliable repair work in the event of cable damage.

Our cable accessories are designed to minimize interference and provide extra security where standard solutions fall short.

Services that go beyond products

At Lovink Enertech, we not only supply products, but also advice, technical support and training. Through the Lovink Academy , we offer specialised training courses and workshops for installers and engineers, so that they are optimally prepared for the installation and maintenance of joints for the medium-voltage network in rail infrastructure.

Unique silicone technology for maximum reliability

Our cable joints and connections are distinguished by the use of high-quality silicone technology. This technology provides exceptional insulation, flexibility and durability, even under extreme mechanical stress. This makes Lovink the partner of choice for rail projects that do not want to compromise on quality and safety.
