SZ-stranding for a strong ROI THE power cable SZ-stranding technology offers huge potential for ROI thanks to its practical machinery, easy operation and inline jacketing process.

Many years ago, Rosendahl discovered the benefits and simplicity of SZ-stranding both in machinery and during operation. The solution is called Power SZ, where heavy rotating machines are replaced by stationary equipment so that machine loading and unloading can be carried out easily and quickly. Simpler equipment has a higher operating reliability. The line is able to handle three to five conductors with cross sections of up to 240mm². With

The InteliTHERM HTG400 Proton Products launched its new InteliTHERM HTG400 handheld wire temperature gauge at Interwire 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This instrument is suitable for use on all bare wire types and comprises a special bimetallic wheel construction with integrated electronics for precise, responsive measurement performance. It provides high-precision wire temperature measurement of better than ±0.5ºC, up to 400ºC (752ºF). ▲ ▲ The new HTG400 handheld wire temperature gauge

smaller cross sections, a performance of 60m/min is achieved while producing long production lengths due to stationary pay-off stands with bigger drums. Depending on what the manufacturer requires, the Power SZ can be set up offline or with an inline jacketing process. It is a proven and efficient solution where the cable is produced in one production step for sector-shaped conductors. The line is mostly a very customised solution and the company can provide support with process and product know-how.
