Wind power
Wind energy is one of the renewable energies that has generated the greatest significance and impact globally in recent years. Becoming aware of our planet and the search to supply it with energy from sustainable and clean sources has driven the production of wind farms.
Spain is the fifth country in the world with the most installed wind power, behind China, India, the United States and Germany.
Wind farms constitute a sector that employs more than 30,000 people in Spain, whether in on-shore or off-shore wind farms.
Protection of wiring and cable glands for wind turbines
The wind turbines that make up these wind farms are highly complex machines and must be continually exposed to inclement weather.
To protect and guarantee correct operation, its manufacturers approve and include the highest quality parts in their designs, such as cable glands for wind turbines.
Some of the electrical wiring protection systems that we can find in wind turbines are:
Polyamide 6 flexible corrugated tubes, TWINFLEX Polyamide 6 corrugated tubes, Plastic fittings for flexible tubes, Insulated protective ferrules, IP68 Polyamide cable glands, IP68 metal cable glands
Our tubes, fittings and glands for wind turbines have many mechanical and chemical properties, all obtained thanks to the use of excellent raw materials and a robust and simple design.
The main characteristics that we recommend to wind turbine manufacturers and that they recognize as vital for the performance of wiring protection elements:
-UV resistance: since it is equipment permanently exposed outside, it must coexist with ultraviolet rays and their effects.
-Anti-corrosion: Wind turbines need special attention and are regularly undergoing inspections and maintenance processes inside. Our flexible tubes and glands are prepared to withstand liquids and oils with high chemical demands.
-IP68 waterproofing: Our plastic and metal cable glands are available in IP68 versions that guarantee total protection of wiring against liquids, dust and other solid agents that may appear, thus ensuring optimal operation of the equipment.
Fleximat has supplied wind turbine cable glands, flexible polyamide tubes and other wiring protection elements for more than 20 years. The main companies in the market trust our solutions for their most demanding projects.
