Helukabel has introduced a complete range of green energy cables comprising the Green Line range for photovoltaic applications and Heluwind aluminium cables for wind energy. More than merely being suitable, the Helukabel range is actually designed and engineered to overcome challenges associated with this type of application.
The Heluwind WK Powerline Aluminium, for example, is a new generation power cable built to reduce the overall cost of installations due to its light weight which paves the way for less supporting infrastructure overhead as well as reducing the initial purchase price. In addition the aluminium cable does not have an aftermarket value in scrap which reduces the chances of theft in the typically remote areas where the plants are situated.
Impressive specifications
With a temperature range of -40 to 105°C and able to handle voltages 0,6-3 kV and test voltage of 50 Hz 2500 V or 9 kV, the cables are able to deal with nearly any application. They are also treated to be UV, heat and oil resistant and can be buried direct in the soil if required, while also being fully recyclable at end of lifespan.
“Perhaps the most important feature of the cable is its flexibility and lightweight which makes it easy to work with on site. With flexibility that allows it to take sharp turns the cable can be run in compact environments and its resistance to chemicals, flames and other environmental factors means that it can be used trouble-free in harsh outdoor environments,” says Doug Gunnewegh, managing director of Helukabel South Africa.
Similarly, the range of Green Line Solarflex cables are purpose designed for photovoltaic applications from the photo cell to the grid. A broad range of cabling is available in similarly heat, chemical and environmental resistant application for power transmission, plant cabling and even data monitoring of the plant. Aluminium or copper transmission cables are available depending on project requirements.
Ready to assist
“We have cables for any purpose whether it be for renewable or for standard cabling needs. Where special requirements do exist, our technical teams are at hand to develop bespoke cables for individual requirements.
“With demand growing and our involvement in a myriad of projects across the continent, we have bolstered our stock in order to be able to meet orders from our ex-stock holding. With a comparatively short lead time we can get cables to remote sites anywhere in Africa within a relatively short space of time. We also hold a large stock of cable accessories to simplify and improve the quality of installations at renewable energy sites,” concludes Gunnewegh.
