Paris, June
19, 2023 – Nexans, a leader in the design
and manufacturing of cable systems and services, has launched a new
high-voltage cable range for aircraft. With an efficiency higher
than the previous generation, this cable family is a decisive step
to reaching the carbon neutral objective in the aerospace industry
by 2050.
The need to consume less fuel is rapidly
growing, driving the aerospace industry to change mobility
technologies to alternative hybrid-electric aircraft. To support
the next generation of aircraft, Nexans new high-voltage cables
allow for a higher level of power without increasing the
conductor’s diameter and weight.
Previewed at the Paris Air Show, Nexans new
high-voltage cables for electrical and hybrid aircraft, and E-VTOL
(Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing Vehicules) fit the
requests from the Aerospace industry to reduce its carbon
footprint, and the agenda of the French governement and the
European commission to develop an innovative solution to integrate
electrical and hybrid engines in aircraft.
Nexans high-voltage cables are 20 times more
efficient than standard aircraft cables. They can be used from 600V
to 6,000V (AC, DC, PWM) when the standard aircraft voltages are
ranging from 28V DC to 115V or 230 AC. They have higher power
density (power/mass), using a patented design with semi-conductive
and high resistivity layers which are extruded as sandwich layers.
This guarantees a partial discharge free operation over a wide
range of voltages and altitudes. A partial discharge is an
electrical discharge that partially bridges a gap between a
high-voltage conductor and a low-voltage conductor. Partial
discharge causes degradation and can lead to system breakdown.
Thomas Hähner, Aerospace Technical Director at
Nexans, said : “This new step represents a major advancement for
power transmission systems and the development of innovative and
sustainable cable solutions in the aerospace sector. Nexans is
applying its expertise to the development of multiple
new-generation electrical technologies that are an integral part of
sustainable flight. We are developing high-voltage cables to pave
the way for the reduction of carbon emissions across the
sector.“
As part of the “Clean Aviation” partnership,
Nexans will play a significant role in reaching the program’s
energy efficiency and emissions goals, leading to a potential
reduction of up 90% in emissions varying by the type of
aircraft1.
Nexans’ high voltage cables will be produced at
its Draveil site in France, which employs 260 people.
Meet Nexans at the Paris Air Show from
19 to 25 June 2023 –
