Reliable cable joints in wet ground conditions
Underground cable connections face major challenges in damp or soggy soil. Moisture penetration and insulation faults can lead to costly breakdowns and repairs. Lovink develops technology specifically designed to protect medium-voltage cable joints and connections in humid environments – for long-lasting, watertight performance where it really matters.
Impact of wet soil on cable fittings
Soil with a lot of moisture, such as areas with high groundwater or flood-prone regions, poses significant risks:
- Insulation Degradation: Moisture can penetrate insulation materials, creating water trees and reducing dielectric strength. This increases the risk of electrical failures.
- Reduced heat dissipation: Wet soil affects the thermal conductivity around cables, which can lead to overheating.
