Self Supporting Cable Termination
Pfisterer oil-free and gas-free cable terminations for high voltage cables are environmentally friendly and reduce installation times by the HV Jointer – the cable terminations are available for voltage levels ranging from 52kV to 170kV and conductor cross-sections up to 2500sqmm.
The self-supporting Pfisterer EST design replaces conventional oil-filled and gas-filled outdoor cable terminations both in overhead line towers and transformer stations – the cleverly designed head fitting allows for any thermal expansion in the conductor.
The mounting frame on overhead line towers is now no longer needed since the cable termination can be installed onto the HV cable on the ground and then lifted onto the tower – this leads to very short turn-off periods of the overhead lines.
Pfisterer IXOSIL EST SUB Advantages
- Oil- and gas-free
- Leak-proof
- Compensation of cantilever forces
- Enables installation on the ground, no mounting frames required
- Time savings of up to 50% during cable preparation due to new technology
- 100% electrically routine-tested termination
- Low weight cable termination
Pfisterer MV HV cable plugs and terminations are suitable for all voltage levels and applications where medium or high voltage power must be reliably distributed within the electricity supply industry.
