The transmission system beyond the transformers or the gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) feeds the domestic and international grids. Nexans delivers turnkey projects, from civil engineering, cables and accessories, to connection, testing and commissioning.
HV and VHV XLPE cables (60 to 500 kV)
For the transmission of up to 1 gigawatt of electricity to the grid network. Very robust, with low maintenance and simple accessories, these XLPE cables are usually buried in ducts or installed in galleries until reaching the grid substation.
Nexans XLPE HV cables continue to provide safe and secure grid power handoff for France’s 59 nuclear reactors, and for the Kozloduy NPP in Bulgaria.
 HV/MV joints and terminations
To interconnect and terminate several sections of the energy network.
Cold-shrink joints make for easy connection.

ITER: new fusion reactors will limit radioactive waste
Nexans is highly involved in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) being built in Cadarache, France. ITER uses magnetic fields for inertial confinement in what is known as the Tokamak system.
- Copper/superconductor magnet cables for the magnetic field
- Superconductor power transmission cables
- The cryogenic envelope to cool the superconducting LTS cables
Nexans has been creating cable prototypes for fusion for 15 years, and gained 30 years of experience in flexible cryogenic envelopes through its unique liquefied natural gas (LNG) cables.
