Easy installation of LoviSil® cable joints for PILC cables
South African contractor Atlantic Power Cable Jointing was recently introduced to the innovative LoviSil® concept for connecting PILC cables. After an extensive demonstration, the jointers were impressed by the ease of installation and the additional benefits of this technology.
Why LoviSil® is ideal for PILC cables
In projects of the Municipality City of Capetown , connecting PILC on PILC cables is still common. LoviSil’s® liquid silicone technology provides additional protection:
- Silicone insulation has the same function as paper cable grease
- Prevents discharge marks due to paper drying out
- Reliable solution for medium-voltage connections
Demonstration and training in South Africa
Export manager Dennis Jansen gave a presentation and product demonstration in Capetown. The contractor, experienced with shrinkage technology, particularly appreciated:
- Easy installation of LoviSil® cable joints
- Ability to cross PILC cables in one joint – a unique advantage
Demand for high-end technologies
Atlantic Power Cable Jointing is active in various sectors, also outside South Africa, such as Asia and the Gulf States. In addition to 11 kV, they also provide 33 kV connections. The contractor sees opportunities to use LoviSil® cable joints in projects where high-quality joints are required.
