LoviSil® Medium Voltage branch joints offer useful solution for maintaining wind farms

How smart branch‑joint tech enables wind farms to stay operational during major maintenance

In a major maintenance phase of a wind‑farm complex near Paderborn (Germany), LoviSil® branch joints from Lovink Enertech B.V. were deployed on 30 kV cables to allow individual turbines to be disconnected and serviced — while keeping the rest of the circular grid in operation. This clever approach meant maintenance could proceed without the typical downtime associated with full‑grid shutdowns.
The installation paired a 630 mm² main feed cable with 400 mm² and 95 mm² branch cables, utilising the special branch connector integral to the LoviSil system.

Reviving legacy cables: how smart oil‑refill joints gave a German refinery its medium‑voltage network back without full replacement

At a major industrial refinery in Germany, aging paper‑insulated lead‑covered (PILC) medium‑voltage cables were at risk of failure as their internal oil supply dried out. Rather than undertake a costly full‑cable replacement, the engineers at Lovink Enertech B.V. implemented their LoviSil® oil‑refill joint—a solution that reconnects a dried‑out PILC cable to an oil reser...
