Novel cable meets track-side demands
A special design of signal cable promises the ideal combination of high performance, long life, reliability and compact installed dimensions for train axle counter systems.
Nexans is supplying and installing 24km of 115kV three-core XLPE power cable and related accessories.
This cable consists of three 240 mm2 copper conductors with a single layer of galvanised steel wire armour, including a 24-strand fibre optic cable.
This new high voltage link will be installed in parallel with the existing 115kV oil-filled submarine connection commissioned in 1996.
This time, PEA has chosen the "new generation" of high voltage cable with XLPE insulation, easier to install and less demanding in term of maintenance.
