The representatives of "Rosatom" praised the potential of the new equipment "Sibkabelja"


Representatives of Rosatom got acquainted with modern production base of JSC "Sibkabel" (included in the "holding Cable Alliance", uniting cable assets UMMC). Among other things, the guests were shown the latest equipment installed in the plants number 3 and 6. High-speed line drawing and stranding machines will increase productivity by 2-4 times.





"the Delegation had appreciated the scale of the plant, the results of modernization and the prospects of further cooperation under nuclear power projects. Rosatom is interested in the supply of control, power, wiring cables and control cables. "Sibkabel" is part of the "Holding Cable Alliance", along with the plants "Uralkabel" and "Elektrokabel". Together range of products HCA on their behalf may close more than 90% of the needs of such a large and serious of the customer, Rosatom. For example, the Kolchugin COPIES in the past year received a certificate of conformity for the control cables of the type LOCA, intended in particular for installation in the pressure zone of nuclear power plants, where the reactor is, respectively, the cable there should be super-reliable," – said the chief engineer "Sibkabelja" Alexander Starikov.





the cables for the nuclear industry must meet the most stringent requirements, including resistance to high temperatures, pressure changes, humidity, various types of radiation and seismic effects and smooth operation in aggressive environment.





"the Technology of cable has many nuances and requires a total control at every stage. The supply of products for strategic sectors of the industry guarantee high quality, reliability and durability of our products. All factories are "Holding Cable Alliance" introduced a multistage system of quality control of materials, intermediates and finished product, – said the technical Director of HCA on their behalf Alexei Saushkin. – With the help of modern equipment are tested physico-mechanical, electrical, and other characteristics. This allows to eliminate defects already in the first stages of the production process."





the Products of "Holding Cable Alliance" has already proven its reliability for use in nuclear facilities, such as Novovoronezh, Beloyarsk, Belarusian, Smolensk, Leningrad, Kola, and other nuclear power plants.





the Nuclear industry is one of the most promising areas in terms of development of new constructions, which is engaged in Tomsk Scientific research Institute of cable (NIKI), which is HCA on their behalf. Currently, together with "Sibcable" for the nuclear industry developed a highly reliable cable service life to 60 years.





"the Tests are the aging the samples at elevated temperatures from 100 to 200 degrees. Such research is conducted for 1.5-2 years. During this time, we are tracking how the material changes its physical-mechanical properties", – explained the Director of NICKY Alex burrows.
