Nexans has been awarded a two-year contract by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy to suppy Windlink cables for its onshore and offshore wind turbines.
In addition to ready-to-install medium voltage (MV) cable kits, including 72 kV cable kits to meet the growing demand for offshore wind farms to operate at higher voltages, Nexans is also supplying a variety of cabling solutions such as jumpers for the switchgear to transformer connection, as well as low voltage (LV) copper cable assemblies and aluminum power cables for fixed installation in towers. The Windlink cables will be used for applications inside the wind turbines including tower, loop, nacelle and generators. In total, Nexans will supply 60 km of MV cable and 1200 km of LV cable.
