The development of high voltage XLPE Cable Systems goes back to the 1960’s. Since then production and material technology have significantly improved, to provide reliable and maintenance-free products to the utility industry.

At present, numerous high voltage XLPE cable systems with nominal voltages up to 500 kV and with circuit lengths up to 40 km are in operation worldwide.

Brugg Cables

Cable systems are equipped with accessories, which have passed the relevant type tests pursuant to national and international standards, such as long-duration tests. As one of the first XLPE cable manufacturers worldwide Brugg Cables passed a Prequalification Test on a 400 kV XLPE Cable System according to the relevant international standard IEC 62067 (2001).

This test required one year of operation, along with the thermal monitoring of all cables, joints and terminations installed. It was successfully completed at CESI Laboratory in Milan, Italy in 2004.

As one of just a few providers worldwide, Brugg Cables can offer a broad range of both XLPE cables (up to 500 kV) and oil-filled cables (up to 400 kV) as well as their accessories.
