High Voltage Onshore AC Cables

Safe, reliable underground power distribution

High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) onshore cable systems replace conventional overhead lines and enable installations in challenging environments.

Underground cable installations offer invisible transmission routes and provide natural protection for the cables. HVAC cable systems enable greater integration of renewable power to existing grids, developing, extending and upgrading the power grids to meet the electricity needs in urban areas, today and tomorrow.
