As the incidence of non-approved cables continues,MediumVoltage (MV) cables coming onto themarket should be independently approved and certified as compliant as the pressuremounts on the installation of quality products inmodern building developments.
Indeed, new demands are being placed on the grid continually fofor reliable supplies and the development of nuclear plants Sellafield and Capenhurst only increase that need fofor rel approved products throughout the supply chain. The su

MV cables are crucial to our infrastructure. Electricity leaves the generating site and is routed via a step-up transfoformer to take it up to the National Grid distribution voltages of 400Kv, 275Kv and 132Kv
