With the staggering variety of power cables in service, and the industry’s demand for rapid supply of cable accessory kits, the logical way to serve this market is through a fast response kit assembly capability. Cable termination and joint kits up to 36kV are assembled to customer requirements from components held in stock, with a typical “same day – next day” turnaround. A comprehensive range of accessories (connectors, mounting hardware, insulators, surge arrestors, earthing equipment) is available to provide a total package solution to cable terminating and jointing.

Established to serve the rapidly growing outsourcing culture in Power Distribution Utilities and major electrical OEM companies, this area of our Engineered Solutions business has grown by adopting this simple formula:

Through its long history of distribution of Tyco products, Gilbert Lodge is able to bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the creation of a wide range of special power cable assemblies for power distribution applications. Based on screened medium voltage cable (up to 36kV), these assemblies serve as the interconnection between feeder circuits, transformers, and switchgear.

Demanding power cable applications (e.g. heavy current load, high vibration) often require special lugs with multiple fixing holes. Based on the stocked range of Utilux long-palm “blank” lugs, Gilbert Lodge can offer customers a rapid turnaround service on these custom engineered lugs.
