LoviSil® loop joint gains ground with Dutch grid operator

A large Dutch grid operator has approved the use of the LoviSil® loop joint for the temporary or permanent welding out of MV stations. Thanks to this solution, it is no longer necessary to bend cables back and mount an additional connection sleeve. Find out why this innovation saves time, costs and risks.

Direct benefits for grid operator

The grid operator immediately saw the advantages of the LoviSil® loop joint:

In the old situation, the MV ring remained interrupted for a longer period of time during the conversion of a station, which is undesirable. With the loop joint, the network remains operational. After conversion, the loop joint is removed and the station is reintegrated into the MS ring.

Maintenance of MV stations

Lovink supervised the initial installation and will soon introduce the LoviSil® loop joint at the network operator’s business school. After that, the grid operator can use the loop joint independently for maintenance work.

Why choose the loop joint?

The LoviSil® loop joint is a branch joint with an end stop on the infeed side. Advantages:

  • No need to reroute cables
  • Single-sided mounting saves time
  • Less digging and no extra cable length required
  • No additional connecting sleeve required
