Wind turbine torsion cable for nacelle loops

Multi-core power and control cable for the nacelle-to-tower loop and pitch runs, where the cable twists in both directions for the life of the turbine.

Rated voltage0.6/1 kV · 1.8/3 kV
Torsion±150 ° per metre
SheathPUR
Low temperature−40 °C
Product overview

Construction and performance

In a wind turbine the cable loop between nacelle and tower is a wear item. Every yaw movement adds torsion, and the pitch system reverses direction on every gust. ZMS torsion-resistant cable uses fine-strand copper, an EPR or XLPE insulation and a PUR sheath, with a lay length chosen so the cores share the twist instead of one core taking it all.

Construction

  • Fine-strand copper conductor, Class 5 / 6
  • EPR or XLPE insulation
  • Optimised lay length for torsion
  • PUR or PCP sheath, abrasion resistant
  • Optional steel wire braid and screened pairs

Applications

  • Nacelle-to-tower loop
  • Pitch system and blade root
  • Yaw deck and hub wiring
  • Turbine auxiliary power and control

Selection notes

What to confirm before ordering

How is torsion life verified?
Torsion resistance is verified by a cyclic test at the specified angle per metre, and the construction is released against a stated cycle count. Ask for the test report for the construction you are buying.
Can power and control cores be combined?
Yes. Mixed power and control cores in one cable reduce the number of loops in the tower. Screened pairs can be included for encoder and communication signals.
What is the minimum installation temperature?
−40 °C for the standard PUR construction. A −55 °C variant is available for cold-climate sites; cable should still be handled with care during installation.

Need a sample or datasheet?

Tell us the system voltage, conductor size, length and destination. We can prepare a construction drawing and sample for review.

Packing and delivery

From the reel to the site gate

Cable is packed so it can be pulled without a re-reel, and documented so the site team can match each drum to the test report.

Drum packing

Wooden or steel-wooden drums for constructions above 16 mm², with lagging and a PE wrap. Drum diameter is selected so the cable is not bent below its minimum bending radius.

Coil and box

Small sizes and short lengths are supplied as coils in cartons or on pallets, wrapped and labelled with the same drum numbers used in the packing list.

Length control

Continuous length is measured during rewinding, and the delivered length is stated on the drum plate and the packing list. Short-length tolerance is agreed in the order.

Reel marking

Each drum is marked with product description, size, voltage rating, standard, length, gross weight, drum number and the project or PO reference.

Container loading

Drum layout and quantity per 20′ or 40′ container are planned by diameter and weight; a loading plan is issued before shipment.

Export documentation

Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin are issued for the shipment; FOB, CIF and DAP terms are quoted on request.

Shipping documents

What travels with the shipment

  • Packing list with drum number, size, length and gross weight
  • Routine test report for the delivered length
  • Declaration of conformity and certificate copies for the tender file
  • Loading plan and photos before the container is sealed
