High and Extra High Voltage Cable Systems
Insulating power delivery through underground transmission cables
Power transmission utilities require years of reliable, consistent service for their customers. For both aging and new transmission infrastructure, including those that connect renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydro and geothermal to the grid, high-quality HVAC and HVDC cables are paramount to the reliability and longevity to meet customer's demands.
At Dow, we ensure all of our underground transmission cable systems are made with quality materials– like ENDURANCE™ compounds for cable systems.
Against external factors such as weather, vandalism, etc., resulting in greater reliability.
With no vegetation management versus overhead lines.
Smaller right of way and faster approval of applications for installation.
Of electromagnetic noise.
Lower short- and long-term maintenance costs than overhead lines.
Quality materials for quality cable systems
Along with advocating intelligent undergrounding, the concept for burying cable when and where it makes sense, we also believe that quality cables can only be derived from quality materials. We produce ENDURANCE™ compounds to the highest global performance standards – under the strictest quality control, handling, packaging and shipping guidelines.
The role of HVDC cables in the shift to renewable energies and the challenges posed by transmitting power over larger distances.
ENDURANCE™ HFDC-4202 Compound helps cable systems last longer and perform better with lower total life cycle costs.
