35kV Cable Branching Cabinet

35kV Cable Branching Cabinet

The 35kV high-voltage cable branching cabinet for photovoltaic power generation is equipped with lightning arresters.

35kV cable branching cabinets are widely used in wind power plants and photovoltaic power generation projects. The cabinet can be equipped with isolating switches and lightning arresters. It connects power cables to box-type substations and ring main units, serving functions such as connection, tapping, branching, or switching, providing great convenience for cable network systems.
