EXPERTISE 03 / 04

Cable systems & analysis

Cable construction, electrical stresses, wet-ageing behaviour and corrosion — considered as one connected system.

Emission shields

An emission shield between conductor screen and insulation limits electron injection into the insulation and reduces the risk of degradation.

Material choice and controlled multilayer extrusion are central to assessing this approach.

Wet-ageing tests

Long-term wet-ageing tests show how cable systems perform under demanding conditions.

Support for 66 kV cable tests addressing CIGRE TB 722 and VDE 0276-620 — project references, not blanket certification.

Corrosion & submarine cables

Submarine cable reliability depends on water exposure, metal components, polymers and protective layers.

Includes assessing water-blocking additives for saltwater exposure, linked to CIGRE work on corrosion prevention.

Project background: Eifelkabel’s existing technical portfolio.
