Range overview

Energy Storage Cables

A battery storage plant runs current in both directions, all day, at a duty cycle no other cable in the project sees. Terminations sit inside enclosures where smoke and halogen content matter if a cell fails. ZMS energy storage cable uses fine-strand tinned copper, XLPO insulation and a low-smoke halogen-free sheath, with the flexibility needed to dress connections inside a rack.

Customisation

We can adapt this family to the project requirements. Common options include:

  • Orange, black or red sheath
  • Screened construction for BMS signals
  • Heat-shrink or lug pre-assembly
  • Parallel cable sets with matched length
  • 2000 V DC rating option
  • Fire-resistant variant for egress routes

Performance

Fire, smoke and cycling performance

Battery rooms and containers concentrate a large fault current in a small space. The cable has to stay flexible for tight rack routing while limiting flame spread and smoke, and it has to carry continuous charge and discharge cycling without conductor fatigue.

  • Flame propagation to IEC 60332-1-2
  • Smoke density to IEC 61034 and acid gas to IEC 60754
  • Class 5 or class 6 flexible copper for rack and PCS connections
  • LSZH sheath for container and indoor cabinet use

Applications

Where energy storage cables are specified

The right construction depends on voltage, movement and the environment along the route.

Cell to rack connection

Short, high-current links inside the rack, where flexibility decides how fast a pack can be serviced.

Rack to PCS / DC bus

Longer DC runs between battery containers and the power conversion system, sized for voltage drop.

Auxiliary power feed

BMS, HVAC and fire-suppression supply inside the container, where LSZH performance is required.
