High voltage cables 64/110 (123) kV
Elka has started the production of high-voltage cables with XLPE insulation, which are produced under application of most up-to-date technology of insulation in triple extrusion with contemporary laying of insulation and of semi-conductive layers within the same head.
NOVEMBER 2009
Produced and certified new constructions of cables for construction industry
JULY 2007
Special medium voltage power cable constructed acc. to the British Railways standard.
The cable meets the branch standards of the British Railsways: EN 60811, BS 6622, IEC 60840, NR/PS/ELP/00008 and was the first in Europe to pass a demanding test – CABLE SPIKING TEST at the CESI laboratory.
APRIL 2007
ELKALEX with a communications pair.
Pursuant to the user’s (HEP) request, Elka has integrated the communications pair into ELKALEX acc. to
IEC 62056. It is produced acc. to HRN HD 626 S1 standard in order to enable a remote communication with electrical meters. The cable construction, with a pair stranded with the other ELKALEX cores, meets the requirements for a 40-year life-time of cable. The cables were first laid in the vicinity of Sisak in July 2007.
MARCH 2007
Elka constructed a cable for Končar wind power unit KO-VA 57/1 of 1000 kVA power.
The cable is applied for connection of the power unit situated within a cabin and the four-square IGBT-PWM frequency converter located at the bottom of the 60-meter high tower. The factory tests of the wind power unit are completed and the exploitation results are expected to confirm the pre-test characteristics.
OCTOBER 2006
Multi-purpose medium voltage power cable
Multi-purpose three-core medium voltage power cable constructed acc. to IEC 60502-2 standard, for electrical power transmission, suitable for laying in earth, over earth and under water.
Nominal voltage of cable 12/20 kV; max. voltage 24 kV; endurable impact voltage 125 kV. The cables are fitted in Slovenia and Croatia.
JULY 2005
New generation of flame-retardant and fire-resistant cables.
Flame-retardant halogen-free shipboard cable meets the requirements of very strict category of flame-retardancy acc. to standard IEC 603323-22A, and for its production is used Elken 4401 – flame-retardant polyolefin. The application of new and higher-quality materials resulted in considerable reduction of external diameter and of cable weight.
