Results for tag: "HVDC Cables"

The HVDC Cables market is a subset of the Wire and Cables industry. HVDC Cables are used to transmit electricity over long distances, typically between two points that are not connected by an alternating current (AC) power grid. HVDC Cables are typically used in applications such as interconnecting two AC grids, connecting offshore wind farms to the mainland, and connecting remote power sources to urban areas. HVDC Cables are typically more expensive than AC cables, but they are more efficient and can transmit electricity over longer distances. HVDC Cables are typically made of copper or aluminum, and are insulated with a variety of materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and cross-linked polyethylene. The cables are also typically shielded with a metallic sheath to protect against electromagnetic interference. Some of the major companies in the HVDC Cables market include ABB, Siemens, Nexans, Prysmian Group, and Sumitomo Electric Industries. Show Less Read more
