Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How do windmill cables handle high mechanical stress during turbine rotations?

Windmill cables are designed to withstand repeated twisting and bending. They use flexible conductors like tinned copper, which allow them to handle mechanical stress without breaking. The insulation and sheathing are made from special materials like cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) that resist wear and tear from constant movement.

What materials are used to protect windmill cables from extreme weather conditions?

Windmill cables use tough outer sheaths made from polyurethane (PUR) or thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). These materials can handle extreme cold, heat, and UV radiation. Some cables also have extra layers of water-blocking compounds to prevent moisture damage and corrosion inside.

How do windmill cables maintain electrical performance over long distances?

Windmill cables are designed with low electrical resistance to ensure minimal power loss over long distances. They use high-conductivity copper or aluminum conductors and insulation materials like XLPE with low dielectric losses, helping keep energy transfer efficient even in large wind farms.

Why do windmill cables need shielding, and how does it work?

Shielding in windmill cables reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby electrical systems. This shielding is usually made from braided copper or aluminum, which blocks unwanted electrical noise. This helps pflegen the quality of the power signal and protects sensitive turbine control systems from disruption.

What are the safety features of windmill cables in the event of a short circuit?

Windmill cables are equipped with flame-retardant materials to prevent fires in case of a short circuit. They also have high-temperature resistance, ensuring the insulation doesn’t break down when exposed to sudden surges. Some cables even include a fire barrier layer that delays the spread of flames.
