WINDLINK® LV-AL flexible LSOH
Description
Single-core EPR-insulated cables with aluminium fine wires conductor and low smoke zero halogen sheath acc. to IEC 60502-1
Description
Standards
International : IEC 60502-1Description
Application
This aluminium flexible cable is specially designed for Wind Turbines and dedicated for fixed installation inside the tower or the nacelle.
The quality of materials used for core, insulation and sheathing (low smoke zero halogen-LS0H) make the cables both durable, and resistant to high temperatures. Nexans offers more than a decade of experience with wind energy.
Our expertise makes WINDLINK® cables highly recommended for wind turbines.
