High current, seven situations

High current moves between the same four places in most projects: the transformer, the switchgear, the converter and the load. These are the seven situations our customers ask us to solve most often.

EV Super Charging Stations

Get power from the distribution room to the dispensers without a bus duct run

Charging parks are built fast and often expand in phases. Flexible cable is delivered in one piece, laid through trenches or trays, and re-terminated on site when new dispensers are added, so the site does not need a bus duct installation crew.

What we supply

  • Flexible cable from the transformer or switchgear to the charging cabinets
  • DC-side connections and matched lugs
  • T-connectors and conversion boxes for phased expansion
Expand in phases without rebuilding the main route

Energy Storage Systems

High current inside a small footprint

Storage containers and cabinets are dense with current-carrying parts. Laminated and flexible busbar bend around corners and fit where a rigid bus duct cannot, and the flat profile dissipates heat better in an enclosed space.

What we supply

  • Flexible cable between transformer, LV switchgear, combiner cabinet and battery clusters
  • Laminated flexible busbar inside cabinets and racks
  • Conversion boxes for paralleling containers
Routed and bent to suit the container layout

Photovoltaic Plants single-line diagram

Photovoltaic Plants

Outdoor routes that survive sun, water and time

PV sites are laid out over large areas, often with long runs between combiner cabinets, inverters and step-up transformers. Cable is buried directly, pulled through conduit or laid in trays, so the sheath compound and the IP68 joint are what keep the system running.

What we supply

  • DC and AC flexible cable for inverter and combiner connections
  • Buried and tray-rated constructions
  • Project-length drums to cut waste on site
Direct burial, conduit or tray — one cable family

Wind Power single-line diagram

Wind Power

Flexible enough for the tower, tough enough for the coast

Wind projects combine long collector runs with confined space inside the tower base and nacelle. A flexible high-current cable takes the bends, tolerates vibration and keeps the number of joints down.

What we supply

  • Collector-circuit connections from turbine to box-type transformer
  • Cable for the grid-connected cabinet and step-up transformer
  • Connectors rated to IP68
Fewer joints means fewer fault points

Industrial Buildings and Parks single-line diagram

Industrial Buildings and Parks

Rework the layout without cutting the supply

Factories are reorganised constantly. Flexible cable can be cut, re-routed and re-terminated during a plant upgrade, and branches can be tapped from the main line while the rest of the building stays energised.

What we supply

  • Main distribution runs from the park substation to each building
  • In-plant drops from the distribution room to production lines
  • T-connectors, junction boxes and conversion boxes
Standby supply switched in through a changeover box

Chemical and Process Parks single-line diagram

Chemical and Process Parks

Routes that can be inspected, cleaned and repaired

Process plants need supply routes that resist moisture and chemical exposure and that can be worked on without a long shutdown. Cable is laid in trenches and trays between workshops and distribution rooms.

What we supply

  • Workshop-to-distribution-room connections
  • Sheath compounds for humid and mildly corrosive environments
  • Fire-retardant and fire-resistant options
Segmented distribution, easier maintenance

Data Centres and IDC Rooms single-line diagram

Data Centres and IDC Rooms

High current in the tightest part of the building

Data centre power chains run from the MV distribution through transformers and LV switchgear to the DC panel, power distribution cabinet and UPS cabinets. Compact, flexible conductors keep the cable room workable and the voltage drop low.

What we supply

  • Transformer to LV switchgear, and switchgear to UPS connections
  • Laminated busbar for cabinet interiors
  • Low voltage drop constructions for long internal runs
Compact profile for congested cable rooms
Discuss this application

Not sure which cable size you need?

Send the load in amps or kVA, the voltage, the route length and how the cable will be laid. We will come back with a conductor size, the voltage drop and the short-circuit rating, and a drawing to approve before anything is produced.

Request a selection

Send us the load and the route

Tell us the current, voltage, route length and laying method. You will have a specification, a drawing and a price within one working day.
