Elsewedy Cables Sets New Standards for High-Voltage Cable Technology in Egypt and the Middle East

In a groundbreaking achievement for the energy sector in Egypt and the Middle East, Elsewedy Cables- Egytech has partnered with Pfisterer to conduct cutting-edge type tests on a 150 kV cable system. These rigorous tests, conducted in adherence to the latest international standard IEC 60840 Ed. 5.1 (2023), were supervised by DEKRA, a renowned European third-party certification body. The meticulously tested AC power cable system included: 

 

  • One single-core 1x2500mm2 cable rated for 150 kV 
  • Two screen-separated joints 
  • One metal-enclosed oil-filled GIS termination 
  • One metal-enclosed dry-type GIS termination 
  • One oil-filled termination with a composite insulator 
  • One dry-type termination 

 

The successful completion of these tests and the subsequent issuance of a certificate from DEKRA mark a significant achievement for Elsewedy Cables, solidifying their position as a leader in high-voltage cable technology.   

By demonstrating the exceptional quality and reliability of Elsewedy Cables’ high-voltage cable systems, this accomplishment paves the way for their wider adoption in critical infrastructure projects across the region. As the demand for reliable and cutting-edge energy solutions continues to grow, Elsewedy Cables remains at the forefront, driving innovation and setting new standards for the future of high-voltage cable technology in Egypt and the Middle East.
