High voltage: Essential in our modern world

High voltage is electric current supplied at voltages higher than 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC. In our society, where more and more applications will be electric, high voltage will be very important. It is the highest voltage often used in power grids to transmit electricity from the source to the consumer's low or medium voltage.

Why is high voltage so important?

High voltage has many advantages. It reduces energy loss over long distances, which is especially important in the transmission of electricity from wind and solar farms.

High voltage is thus a multifaceted and complex issue, and several factors need to be considered when determining whether high voltage is the right choice. However, high-voltage connections remain crucial to continue providing sufficient energy to an increasing number of consumers. Energy production increases along with our society's demand. In addition, it requires climate change a shift in energy supply from fossil to renewable sources and this green power must also be distributed efficiently.

High-voltage cabinets 

High-voltage cabins are cabins often made of precast concrete. They are usually located at the roadside or in industrial areas and are used to transmit electricity from a power plant to other buildings or areas. APK Group ensures that high-voltage cabins always comply with the latest guidelines according to Synergrid.

High-voltage lines up to 150 kV

APK Group is in charge of high-voltage projects up to 150kV. Earthworks are meticulously carried out by an excavator. At a lot of hardening or difficult passage, we make use of directional drilling. This reduces disruption and hereby accessibility to the surrounding area is ensured. The cables are then drawn or installed in the ground and connected together. Finally, the entire system is tested and inspected to make sure it is safe.

The importance of safety

APK Group attaches great importance to the safety of its employees and the environment involved. To ensure this, employees are provided with the necessary knowledge and safety equipment. In addition, employees are also trained to take appropriate safety measures. 

Special protective equipment such as specialised clothing, gloves, eye protection and hearing protection are always used for safety when installing high-voltage cabinets and cables.
