Pfisterer IXOSIL EST - The New Generation Of Dry Outdoor Cable Terminations.

The new oil-free Pfisterer cable terminations for high voltage cables are suitable for all voltage level categories up to 170kV and conductor cross sections up to 2500sqmm. The assembly of oil-filled high cable terminations involves a lot of work, and the insulating oil poses a significant risk to the environment. That's not the case with the new Pfisterer IXOSIL cable terminations : Pfisterer cable terminations are made of modular silicone rubber parts and do not use any oil at all. Pfisterer cable terminations save assembly costs by the high voltage cable jointer and protects the environment for us all.

The new dry Pfisterer cable terminations are available in two versions: the flexible Pfisterer ESF can be used for temporary connections as a testing cable or also as temporary site cable. Pfisterer EST is designed for continuous use and consists of an ESF and an additional supporting element. A movable platform is not required for assembly of the EST on overhead line towers because it can already be connected to the high voltage cable on the ground and is hoisted to the tower together with the cable afterwards. Using these new cable terminations instead of conventional versions makes it possible to save significant assembly costs.
