Key Engineering Features

  1. Dynamic Torsion Performance:
    Passes ±2,000 torsion cycles at –40°C without cracking – critical for Arctic wind farms.

  2. Dual Insulation Options:
    EPR: Superior elasticity for repetitive motion.
    HF-XLPE: Higher dielectric strength for compact designs.

  3. Halogen-Free Safety:
    Sheath emits zero toxic fumes during combustion (compliant with IEC 60754).

  4. Space-Efficient Installation:
    Minimal bending radius (6× diameter) suits confined tower routing.


Application Scenarios

  • Turbine Generator Connections: Nacelle-to-tower base power transmission.

  • Pitch/Yaw Systems: Continuous torsion zones in blade control mechanisms.

  • Offshore Wind Farms: Corrosion-resistant performance in high-humidity environments.
