Customer Challenge:
A solar power station in West Africa needed to transmit power over long distances to reach the national grid. The region's high UV exposure, combined with the potential for salt corrosion in coastal areas, posed significant challenges for the durability of overhead transmission lines.

Uni-Cable Solution:
Uni-Cable supplied UV-resistant polymer insulators, stainless steel wire clamps, and corrosion-resistant hardware. The polymer insulators were chosen for their excellent UV resistance, which prevents degradation over time. Stainless steel wire clamps were selected to combat the corrosive effects of the coastal environment, ensuring long-term reliability of the connections. Uni-Cable provided a tailored solution, including composite insulators, galvanized steel wire clamps, and moisture-resistant fittings. The composite insulators were selected for their hydrophobic properties, which help prevent flashovers in wet conditions. The galvanized steel wire clamps offered superior corrosion resistance, essential for the humid environment. Moisture-resistant fittings were also used to ensure that the connections remained secure and free from corrosion.

Benefits Achieved:
The solar power station successfully transmitted power to the grid with minimal losses and maintenance. The UV-resistant polymer insulators maintained their performance and structural integrity under intense sunlight, while the stainless steel wire clamps provided a reliable and corrosion-resistant connection. The composite insulators prevented flashovers even during heavy rainfall, ensuring a continuous power supply. The galvanized steel wire clamps and moisture-resistant fittings extended the lifespan of the transmission infrastructure, reducing the frequency of maintenance interventions.
