To ensure network reliability and security you need to maintain your network in the best possible state and improve it through products, solutions, services and training.
Nexans protects the value of your network over time, and facilitates upgrades in the most cost-efficient, logical way, always taking into account factors like climate, population density and available right-of-ways.
 Only an active manufacturer of traditional fluid-filled cables and accessories and latest generation XLPE cables can provide Through-Life Support, either as single modules adapted to special needs, or as a complete service package which includes predictive, preventive and corrective maintenance, and emergency intervention. Nexans is maintaining networks for power utilities worldwide.
 For Vattenfall in Germany, Nexans installed the world’s first Superconducting Fault Current Limiter in a power plant to provide short-circuit protection for the internal medium voltage power supply (12kV) that feeds coal mills and crushers in a brown coal power plant. This system can get a 63 kA short-circuit current down to 30 kA instantaneously and down to 7 kA in less than 10 milliseconds, thus providing unparalleled protection.
 To merge energy and data networks, Nexans has developed compact Ethernet i-switches especially designed for energy providers. Within an integrated network (including optical fiber and passive components), i-switches support all security mechanisms: customer identity, authentication, access, surveillance, telecontrol, transformer monitoring, automatic meter reading, etc.
 Nexans is dedicated to keeping expertise alive through special training programs for its customers. The Nexans HV Training Center, based in Switzerland, and MV Power Accessories in France aim at standardizing installation and methodology, and providing theoretical and basic training for everyone involved in cable systems: jointers, engineers, maintenance personnel, network managers, etc.
 To expand and develop Qatar’s electricity utility, KAHRAMAA, to meet the rapid increase in demand, Nexans implemented six underground power links to reinforce and extend the high-voltage network serving Doha, the country’s capital. This major turnkey project included design, development, supply and installation of 96 km of 66 kV and 132 V singlecore cables and accessories.
