Reliable, long-life power cable crucial to wind energy systems

This is possible with performance cable such as TR-XLPE vs. base cable using standard XLPE (see Table 2). As a case in point, Dow Wire & Cable introduced its DOW Endurance MV 4202 TR-XLPE in 1983. Studies show that nearly 30 years later, buried cable made with this material exhibits little to no...

Description
Summary:This is possible with performance cable such as TR-XLPE vs. base cable using standard XLPE (see Table 2). As a case in point, Dow Wire & Cable introduced its DOW Endurance MV 4202 TR-XLPE in 1983. Studies show that nearly 30 years later, buried cable made with this material exhibits little to no wear and has an expected lifespan of more than 40 years.
