Cable Assemblies for Wind Turbine Systems

Wind turbines are hard places to send someone with a spare part, so the interconnect needs to be right first time. AP Technology produces cable assemblies for wind turbine applications, using suitable cable and connector options for this demanding kind of duty. They can be used for control, sensing and power systems within the turbine. Vibration, temperature and access for maintenance should all be factored into the design, and each assembly is checked and tested before being sent out for installation. Standard cable can be modified as part of the build. Over sheathing in PUR, PE or LSOH protects cable from the environment or changes the jacket colour. Over armouring adds galvanised steel wire braid or single wire armour, with an over jacket of PVC, PUR, PE or LSOH, for direct burial. Spiral striping helps with visual identification of individual cables. Pre-assembled drag chains are supported from the design stage through to delivery of a complete, ready to install assembly. Every sub assembly is 100% visually inspected and electrically tested on Cirrus test equipment before being built into the chain and tested again.

After final test, each chain receives a unique serial number giving batch traceability for all of its sub components. Interconnect problems rarely stop at one component. Because AP Technology supplies cable, connectors, glands and finished assemblies under one roof, it can look at the whole connection and not just one part of it. That is useful when a change to cable diameter affects the gland, or a different connector changes how the assembly should be built.
