Cable protection for renewable energies
Cable protection for renewable energies: Reliability for wind, solar and water
In the renewable energy sector, cables and lines have to withstand extreme conditions. Whether in solar parks, wind turbines or hydroelectric power plants. Here, the cables are constantly exposed to UV radiation, mechanical abrasion, water and chemical influences. Reliable cable protection ensures safe energy transmission and extends the service life of the entire system. Techflex offers solutions that meet precisely these requirements.
Protection for offshore wind turbines: corrosion-resistant and durable
Offshore wind turbines have to withstand high mechanical loads and corrosive environments. Salt water and permanent vibrations require robust cable protection solutions.
Flexo® Stainless Steel is a tightly braided protective conduit made of 304 stainless steel that protects cables from abrasion, water and chemical substances. In wind turbines, it ensures the safety of high-voltage cables that are exposed to strong currents and wave movements. Thanks to its flexible stainless steel braiding (stainless steel plus coating), Flexo® Stainless Steel XC offers a high level of protection against salt water, UV radiation and mechanical abrasion. Ideal for cables in offshore installations, it protects against corrosion and ensures a long service life for the cabling. It is easy to install and is suitable for a wide range of applications.
Mechanical abrasion protection for solar and wind power plants
Solar and wind power plants require flexible protection against abrasion and mechanical stresses. Movement, vibration and weathering place high demands on cable protection for the renewable energy sector.
The Dura Wrap made of ballistic nylon offers fast and effective protection for cables with its high-performance hook and loop fastener. It resists UV radiation, salt water and mechanical abrasion. Ideal for solar panels and wind turbines, the Dura Wrap can be installed without tools and protects cables from damage caused by external influences.
With its double neoprene coating, the Turtle Wrap is particularly resistant to UV radiation, moisture, petrol and abrasion. It is ideal for cables that are frequently pulled across the ground and provides reliable protection against sparks and hot splashes - ideal for demanding environments in solar parks.
The Gator Wrap® offers maximum burst protection for hydraulic hoses with its 1.3 mm thick wall of abrasion-resistant fabric. It resists water, petroleum and mechanical influences. It is particularly suitable for wind turbines where high pressure loads occur.
High-voltage protection for wind power generators and transformers
Generators and transformers in wind turbines are exposed to high electrical voltages. Reliable high-voltage protection is essential for the safety and efficiency of the system. This is where Heavy Wall Silicone Flex Glass® comes into play. It is a silicone-coated fiberglass hose that insulates voltages of up to 15,000 volts. The Heavy Wall Silicone Flex Glass® remains flexible at temperatures down to -85 °C and reliably protects against overvoltage and mechanical stress. This makes it perfect for cabling wind power generators and transformers.
All-purpose abrasion protection for harsh environments
Extreme weather conditions, UV radiation and chemical influences are tough on cables. Flexible protective conduits from Techflex offer reliable cable protection for a wide range of applications in renewable energy technology. Dura Flex®, for example, is ideal for permanent outdoor use. It protects cables from UV radiation, petrol and salt water and effectively prevents mechanical damage. The Dura Flex® Pro is the right choice when it comes to protecting hydraulic lines and cables from uncontrolled leaks. Its 2 mm thick nylon wall can withstand 13,000 abrasion cycles and offers optimum protection against UV radiation and chemicals.
