ÖLFLEX cable for the direct current era
New LAPP products at SPS IPC Drives 2018
(PresseBox) - Alternating current is the blood that flows through the veins of our power grid. It conveys electrical energy across great distances from the power station to our homes. But the monopoly of alternating current is coming to an end. Consumers such as mobile phone chargers, LED lamps and electric vehicle batteries increasingly require direct current. There is also an increasing number of power generators that supply direct current instead of alternating current, such as photovoltaic units. The necessary conversion between alternating and direct current consumes huge amounts of energy. That is why energy experts are campaigning for the construction of direct-current grids. The industrial sector, especially the automotive industry, has also begun to equip factories to run on direct current. But there is a problem: direct current places new demands on infrastructure, including cables.
The first series cable for direct current
Leading connection systems manufacturer LAPP has taken a close look at these challenges. The company is due to showcase its first series product at SPS IPC Drives 2018. The process in cables. ?In principle, cables for alternating current can also be used for direct current?, explains Berger.
In terms of long-term durability, however, there are still many open questions and very little in the way of knowledge, even though direct current has been around since the 19th century. Researchers have found evidence that direct current fields place different strains on the plastic of the insulation than alternating current fields. ?It is very important to precisely understand this correlation, which is why we are paying so much attention to this issue that will shape the future?, says Guido Ege, Head of Product Management and Product Development at LAPP.
