Renewable Energy Installations: We have your solution

After a cable accessory is installed, it could be subject to non-standard service conditions and/or adverse environments. This can affect the long-term performance and life expectancy of the splice causing a failure.

Solution:
3M™ Cold Shrink Medium Voltage Splice Kit QS200 is designed for long-term reliability, performance and minimisation of potential installation errors.

HVDC technology offers the most efficient means of transmitting large amount of power over long distances, help connect renewables energy to the grid, and stabilize three-phase-grids. That is why it has become a growing trend.

3M™ High Voltage Separable Connector Kits offer high performance and reliability, helping wind farm operators secure long-term operational stability for the power generated by wind turbines in hostile environments. They provide an efficient solution for connecting and disconnecting high voltage power in electrical systems, providing a secure connection for power transmission.

In the renewable energy environment, cable accessories must withstand extreme load cycles and, if not robust enough, will be at high risk of failure.

Solution:
3M™ Cold Shrink cable accessories firmly shrinks onto the cable insulation, providing an active seal, without loss of pressure due to cable heat cycling.

Long runs to the transmission substation can cause high neutral currents which can cause the circuit to be derated.

Solution:
Cross-bond the circuit to reduce neutral current using a well-designed splice combined with high-quality manufacturing. Given the 3M™ Cold Shrink QS200 Splice’s precise geometry, the electrical stresses within the splice are less than those experienced by the cable insulation.
