Smarter branching with LoviSil® branch joint – Efficient solution for rail infrastructure project
The LoviSil® KB branch joint from Lovink Enertech offers an innovative and efficient solution that speeds up projects and reduces costs. The energy transition is placing enormous pressure on grid capacity. Particularly in medium-voltage networks, the demand for smart and reliable cable connections is greater than ever. Traditional branch joints are often time-consuming and complex to install.
The Challenge: Capacity Constraints and Time Pressure
Project engineers face challenges such as grid congestion, limited network capacity and shortages of skilled personnel. In a recent rail infrastructure project, a traditional solution involving multiple cable joints and lengthy installation times proved impractical. The solution? The LoviSil® KB branch joint.
What Makes the LoviSil® KB Branch Joint Unique?
- Fast installation: fewer components, less installation time.
- Space-saving: compact design for environments with limited space.
- Flexible application: suitable for a wide range of cable sizes (e.g. 25 mm² to 400 mm²).
- Reliable performance: for voltage levels up to 36 kV.
Efficient Branch Joint for Rail Infrastructure
Gerard van de Klundert, Technical Specialist:
“The single-core LoviSil® branch joint made it possible to easily connect three cables — 2x 400 mm² and 1x 150 mm² — without complicated cable rerouting.”
The LoviSil® technology combines liquid silicone insulation with Protolin® resin, providing:
- Mechanical strength
- Waterproof cable joints
- Long-term performance in medium-voltage networks
The cable joint has been successfully used for many years in rail infrastructure, industry, and wind and solar energy projects.
