TF Cable’s DLO WIND RHH/RHW-2/RW90 646 MCM cable successfully completed the heat cycled Torsion Testing requirements per Major Wind Turbine Manufacturer’s spec and UL 44 Dielectric Voltage Withstand Test at Intertek’s Cable Testing Laboratory in Cortland, NY.

Wind Turbine company’s Torsion Testing spec requires the bundling of 3 cables (DLO WIND 646 MCM) together and 10,000 cycles. The active cable bundle was 3 meters in length and underwent continuous twisting of 276° in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. Simultaneously, heat cycling was performed on the conductors. Torsion testing was followed by the “Dielectric Voltage Withstand Test” according to UL 44, and the visual inspection of the stranded copper conductors by Intertek’s engineering staff. TF Cable’s DLO WIND 646 was evaluated on all three parameters by Intertek and successfully passed. These results confirm that our DLO WIND product will meet the most rigorous and stringent requirements for a wind turbine environment!

The first phase of the project involved four gas-to-air connections between GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) and 4 feeders including a wind farm, two overhead transmission lines and a substation.  The second stage of the project similarly involved eight gas-to-air connections between GIS and 8 feeders.  Two additional phases of this project are still underway.

TF Kable manufactured and supplied nearly two miles of 138KV cable and one mile of 69KV cable.

The end user utility is one of U.S.’s largest generator of electricity providing service in 11 states and a total of over 5 million U.S. customers.

ABOUT GIS Switchgear – Replacement of air insulated switchgear with more modern solutions such as GIS (gas insulated switchgear) substantially decreases amount of space needed thanks to its compact size, increases durability of a substation and improves reliability. Switchgear constructed in GIS technology is resistant to atmospheric factors and allows for remote control operation and lower operating cost.
