Milliken

The electrical power cable called Milliken

The electrical power cable of the so called Milliken type is constructed with up to six identical segments formed with an outer cylindrical profile and a hollow core. Each segment is formed by laying a number of individual cores.

These last years have pointed out a significant increase of the power that needs to be transported by underground power cables. As a consequence, large cross section conductors, up to 2500mm² are now customarily used.

Milliken Construction

Milliken Conductor is one of the names or types of construction in copper or aluminium on High Voltage Cable (HV) and also on the Extra High Voltage Cable (EHV). Milliken Conductor is used for large conductor cross-section , generally ranging from 1000, 1200, 1600, 2000 , 2500 , and even 3000 mm2. For smaller section, ordinary construction can be used.
Why Milliken Construction ? To achieve better electric current repartition in the conductor & reduce the Skin Effect that commonly occur in large conductor size.

Our machines for the production of Top quality strands for High Voltage and Extra High Voltage cable production

In the field of HV underground power cables several major steps were taken, making possible a practical underground power transmission system.
Gradually, the voltage levels of underground power cables increased, to 220 KV reaching 500 kV
All through the history and development of power cable, and especially high voltage and extra high voltage power cable, POURTIER has always been present and active; from the famous paper lapping heads of which hundreds have been installed by the company, to the most sophisticated laying-up machine for Milliken cable and including modern stranding machine for copper conductor as well as large armouring and screening lines.
