Modern Accessories Speed-Up Transition to Cold Shrink
Today, the vast majority of joints and terminations for underground cables could be installed faster and easier by using cold shrink technology. But heat shrink has its place in harsh environment and extreme conditions.
Thoroughly Tested Products Count for Higher ROI
Energy companies are expanding their electricity networks while striving for improved reliability and cost control. The quality of accessories and devices has a great impact on how they succeed.
The Electricity Distribution Network is Gearing up to Serve New Needs
Even if the capacity of electricity distribution network is high in many countries, the quality of the electricity needs increasing attention. The network load is constantly increasing, as is the number of interference sources connected, and there are also more and more delicate devices that are easily damaged.
It’s Time to Plan Charging Network for Electric Vehicles
The decreasing of carbon dioxide and particle emissions caused by traffic is a clear motive for the introduction of electric vehicles. Electric vehicles also form a part of the intelligent network with their electricity-storage function, especially when intelligently charged.
How Ensto Pro Brings Ensto Closer to its Customers
"We want to spread the word of 'wow'," said Maria Vickholm, Ensto Pro specialist. "We want each training session to be unique for our customers."
A New Product Ensures Higher Quality Electricity
In many countries, insufficient investments have been made in electricity networks. The consequences are now visible: increased electricity consumption stretches the old networks to their limits, which leads to lower voltages and poor quality of electricity. Ensto's Voltage Booster offers a solution for these problems.
More Durable Electricity Distribution for Rural Areas with New Cable Type
The tangible outcome of a development project by Aalto University in Finland is now ready: a totally new, more economical cable type has been created. Now, electricity distribution can be ensured in scarcely populated areas even in stormy weather.
Auguste Frost-Resistant -50°C – SF6 Insulated Overhead Load-break Switch
