Network resilience requires advanced technology solutions manufactured from highest performance materials; if high harmonics, Sine wave distortion, AD8 protection, abnormal thermal cycling, high-water table, ALE of legacy PILC or general cable failure prevention to critical 11/33kV circuits matters to you, then talk to us.
- UK DNO Compliance (G81) & Contestable Connections (including NGED)
- High Water Table, Submersible, Seawater Resistant & Flood Zone Installations
- Mechanical Protection for Heavy Industrial Applications
- Asset Life Extension of Legacy Paper-Insulated Cables (PILC / PICAS)
- High Harmonics & Non-Linear Loads (Sags & Swells)
- Sine-Wave Distortion & Power Quality Improvement
- Abnormal Thermal Cycling in “High-Load / Low-Load” Systems
- Flame-Free Installation for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Where cables undergo dynamic cyclical load in high harmonic and non-linear load applications the Lovink range of cable joints demonstrate years of fault-free field performance in high temperature installations – additionally, the cable joints are “flame-free” and therefore safe for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres as no heating source or naked flame is required for the installation.
Resin encapsulation provides the highest levels of mechanical impact protection and electrical insulation eliminating voids, discharges and ionisation within the cable joint – the seawater resistant resin and “wet area” (2 bar at 20m water head) performance counters premature electrical cable joint failures in the renewable sector where damp soil conditions, flooded duct and water immersion can induce premature service failure to jointing solutions utilising other technologies.
The compact design permits reduced size joint holes reducing excavation and associated civil engineering preparation costs – ideal for confined space applications where volume displacement is a factor and close quarter working necessitates a compact profile solution.

Lovink Cable Joints
Water ingress is one of the most common causes of failure in underground cable networks.
Once moisture reaches a cable joint in waterlogged soils, flooded areas or cable pits, the risk of failure increases significantly.
So how do you ensure a connection remains properly sealed in waterlogged conditions?
The LoviX® R70 Straight Joint uses a cold shrink design combined with a fully sealed resin system, enabling a consistent and pressure-resistant seal, with testing up to 2 bar water pressure.
For straight, transition and branch connections of MV Power Cables – this includes 11kV and 33kV paper-insulated (PILC/PICAS) and polymeric (XLPE/EPR) cables up to 1000sqmm.
The Lovisil range of water proof cable joints provide excellent continued service for Medium & High Voltage Cables in flooded cable trenches, underground cable ducts and general wet-conditions associated with high-water table applications with a Type-Test documented to 2 Bar water pressure; typically used to fault repair, divert and extend single and 3-core cables with XLPE, EPR and PILC insulation with 11kV 24kV 33kV voltage classification.
Cable Joints for Medium & High Voltage Cables | the Lovink range of cable joints provide high-performance for high-challenge applications including configurations for straight, transition, branch and loop jointing of cables typically distributing electricity at 11kV, 24kV and 33kV; this includes connection joints for extensions and repairs for MV HV cables with XLPE, PILC & EPR insulation.
