As the “blood vessel and nerve” of the wind turbine, the cable has extremely high requirements and safety standards in laying, material and performance.

Wind power cables should meet the requirements of long service life  and constant torsion of fans.

Each fan is huge and complex in structure, and the cost is very high in all aspects. Therefore, the safety requirements are very strict, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

The wind power cables of DATAFIELD have good torsional structure design, high mechanical strength, vibration resistance, oil resistance, corrosion resistance of hydrochloric acid and many other properties, and be able to run on the sea for a long time and be laid freely in the air.

Wind power cables are mainly divided into: ①blade lightning protection cable, ②variable propeller system cable, ③ fixed cable for tower drum, ④ tower drum to box transformer cable, ⑤ box to booster station cable.

DATAFIELD’s wind power cable harness provides stable signal and continuous power for wind power converter systems and is a tier 1 supplier to multinational companies such as GE Wind Energy.

Newly developed automatic two – end crimping machine, insert connector and terminal seat, terminal seat equipped with torque control of the electric screw, the machine is designed for wind, solar, energy storage and other renewable energy electrical control cabinet.

The most representative cable of DATAFIELD is the cable harness for variable propeller system.

The variable rotor system is the main brake system of the fan, which has a high demand on the cable system, whether it is the connectors with high reliability, or the cable that can withstand salt spray and other harsh environment.

DATAFIELD’S wind power cable harness provides steady signal and continuous power for wind power variable rotor systems.
