LoviSil® transition joint solution at new sub-stations Cape Town
The South African energy company City of Cape Town is replacing several sub-stations in Cape Town. For the connection between existing PILC cables and new plastic cables, LoviSil® transition joints from Lovink Enertech were chosen – a proven solution for complex networks.
Challenge: linking old and new cable technology
The existing stations are equipped with PILC cables, while the new situation requires polymeric cables. This requires a transitional joint that:
- Universally applicable
- Prevents paper lead cables from drying out
- Reliable performance at 36 kV
The LoviSil® joint meets all these requirements thanks to the silicone mass that protects the cables from drying out and moisture penetration.
Professional assembly and collaboration
The installation of 3-wire and single-core 36 kV transition joints was carried out by CBI-Electric Power Installations, an experienced contractor in South Africa. Lovink Enertech and distributor KBK Power Solutions supervised the process. The result? A successful installation and satisfied teams from both CBI and City of Cape Town Electricity.
