Eland Cables PADS Approved MV Power Cable

[2008-7-30]

Tag : PVC Cable

Eland Cables has recently been PADS listed as a UKapproved supplier to Network Rail infrastructure for MV Powercable. This follows their approval earlier in the year for BareConductor and their listing as a UK Network Rail approved supplierfor PVC and LSZH sheathed Screening Conductor cable.

MV Power cables are used trackside for distribution of power toswitching stations and transformers. To date Eland Cables hassupplied cable for 11 feeder routes over three projects, includingKingston Bridge in February 2008.

Integral to obtaining the approval was a detailed qualityassessment, referred to as a Spike Test, performed at theindependent CESI facility in Milan. The test was designed to provethat the copper wire screening could withstand a full specifiedfault current for a period of no less than 3 seconds, until theprimary protection activates. The Spike Test is extremelyvaluable in ensuring the capability of the screen, thus ensuringprotection of equipment and prevention of further damage.

We are happy to note that with this approval we have made anotheraddition to the PADS listing and the quality of our cables hasagain been recognised by Network Rail.  Chris Barnes, Manager -Technical and projects.
