Spanish cable manufacturer Top Cable has launched a new product for battery energy storage systems (BESS), targeting installation constraints in densely wired projects.
Spanish cable manufacturer Top Cable has introduced Powerflex Ultra, a cable designed for battery energy storage system (BESS) applications, at Intersolar Europe.
The company said the product was developed to address two key requirements in storage projects: installation flexibility and long-term durability. Top Cable noted that battery containers, power conversion stations, and electrical rooms typically contain high cable densities, making flexibility an important consideration during installation.
The cable combines a Class 6 conductor, a proprietary insulation manufacturing process, and a custom-developed sheath material to improve flexibility compared with conventional products. The company said the design can reduce bending radii, simplify equipment connections, and lower installation time and labor requirements.
Powerflex Ultra is designed to operate continuously at temperatures ranging from -40 C to 90 C. Top Cable said the cable has an expected service life of 30 years when operating at 90 C, compared with many conventional cables designed for continuous operation at temperatures of up to 70 C.
