LoviSil® transition splices offer solution in Venice
Venice regularly suffers from flooding and a high groundwater level, which causes disruptions in electricity grids.These conditions are typical for waterlogged cable environments where splice reliability becomes a critical factor. With LoviSil® transition splices , Lovink Enertech offers an innovative solution that guarantees reliability in humid conditions.
Challenge: water and grid failures
The lagoon city is sometimes up to 70% under water. Malfunctions are common with cable splices based on heat shrink technology. This was reason enough for Lovink Enertech to look for a better solution together with grid operator ENEL.
LoviSil® transition splices: waterproof and reliable
The LoviSil® splices uses liquid silicone technology. Upon contact with water, a flexible, insulating rubber forms that prevents moisture penetration. Advantages:
- Perfect seal against moisture
- Suitable for wet soils
- Reliable performance at high groundwater level
Successful test assembly in Verona
“The high groundwater level was visible in the weld hole, but the technicians were very pleased with the simple assembly technique.”
Additional advantage: three single-core 1-phase cables can be splicing in one housing, where three splices are normally needed.
