HV and EHV cables place the highest demands on their function and their production. As submarine and underground cables, they ensure that electricity is reliably transported to where it is needed. A recent report identifies cable failures as one of the biggest challenges for offshore wind power in the future and predicts about 3,600 cable failures between 2024 and 2035, which could potentially cause costs of around 61.5 billion euros . This makes it even more important to ensure the quality of these cable types at the highest level.
