How do you choose the right medium‑voltage cable joint?

Selecting the right joint is no longer optional—it’s essential for future‑proofing modern grids.

As electricity networks evolve with the energy transition, the choices behind connecting underground medium‑voltage cables have never been more critical. In this article, Lovink Enertech guides utilities and engineers through the underlying challenges of modern networks—two‑way energy flow, harmonic contamination, higher loads—and explains why traditional heat‑shrink or cold‑shrink joint technologies may no longer suffice.

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 wi...

LoviSil® Oil Refill Joints extend cable lifespan in German refinery

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...
