Flexible voltage cable used in short lengths, e.g. as a connection in switch-gear or transformer houses where small bending radius is requested. Cable are also used in Onshore-Power-Supply: energy chains, reeling operation or power supply for large electrical applications and drives via cable carrier systems. They are also used in Shore Power System and installed on e.g. port / intermodal cranes.
