摘要

Nexans has won a EUR13M (US$17.6M) turnkey contract to supply the power cables for a new pumped storage project currently being developed by Kraftwerke Linth-Limmern (KLL) in eastern Switzerland.rnUnder the contract, Nexans will supply, install and commission six 380kV XLPE-insulated underground cables, each approximately 5km in length, which will be laid in parallel in the project's underground access tunnel. The cables, which will connect the new plant to the EHV power transmission grid, comprise copper core conductors with a cross-section of 1600mm~2.
