To support increasing client demand we have now expanded and increased our stock levels of the SPARTAN range of Lighting for Hazardous Areas manufactured by Raytec – this enables us to satisfy emergency replacement, planned upgrade and project-scale orders from customers working in the explosive atmosphere industries.

Reducing Your Carbon Footprint By Several Sustainable Shoe Sizes
Businesses are proactively aligning their hazardous area lighting upgrade with sustainability strategies to reduce carbon emissions and support ambitious carbon neutrality targets agreed by the EU in 2019 – the upgrade and investment in LED lighting by businesses in pursuit of zero emissions status by 2050 has led to several multinational companies to accelerate the replacement of now retrograde fluorescent type lights with modern-technology light-emitting diode (LED) light fittings.
In the drive to go green the fading glow of traditional light fittings is fastly being replaced by the brilliant “White Light” illumination of energy efficient, modern technology light-emitting diode (LED) lighting systems.

Thorne & Derrick International, a leading UK based Specialist Distributor of LV HV Jointing, Earthing, Substation & Electrical Eqpt are delighted to confirm receipt today of a new purchase contract order for an offshore wind farm project – this is to supply 33kV Tee Connectors (NEXANS EUROMOLD) and Inline Cable Joints (3M COLDSHRINK) following several rounds of technical qualification, specification and commercial submissions.
Thorne & Derrick’s technical submission for the jointing of the 33kV cables was accepted by the Senior Lead Cable Specialist based upon their 3M QS2000 range – the cable joint designed utilises a unique Cold Shrink delivery system. The 3M Cold Shrink products are supplied pre-stretched on a removable core for efficiency and ease of installation by the jointer with an integral electrical field control device and faraday cage pre-installed in the insulation body to reduce complexity during the installation.
As Approved Vendors to Vattenfall, the Swedish multinational power company, Thorne & Derrick will be supplying a 33kV Inter-Array Cable Accessory Package including medium voltage joints, connectors and cable cleats to support the installation of 19/33 (36)kV Single Core Submarine Cable with 24 Fibers (IEC 60502-2).
The cable insulation system features water tree retardant (WTR) XLPE material, consisting of an inner semi-conductive screen, insulation and outer semi-conductive screen extruded in same operation (triplex extruded) – 3M Cold Shrink provides secure sealing and insulating of medium voltage cable termination and connections up to 36kV.
The MV cable originally manufactured by Prysmian Draka was installed by VMBMS under contract to Vattenfall Vindkraft A/S at the Horns Rev 3 project in Denmark.
Thorne & Derrick can support the specification and supply of standard and customised Cable Termination & Jointing Systems up to 66kV including separable connectors for Interface C-F Outer Cone and Size 3 Inner Cone gas insulated switchgear – extensive ranges of Cold Shrink and heat shrink jointing technologies are available from stock for immediate delivery to reduce downtime periods on unplanned cable outages.
