Underground high voltage cable networksoffer numerous advantages that cannot be ignored. These UHVC networks are perfect for for installations in preserved landscapes and other challenging environments.
Underground high voltage cable installations provides invisible transmission routes. When the landscape is restored after cable installation is accomplished, the transmission route quickly becomes invisible and the ground serves as natural protection for the cables. They are less prone to damage, unlike overhead power lines which are exposed to weather, falling trees, and accidents which can result in power loss and other inconveniences.
Underground power lines are more expensive to install than overhead power lines. However, there are cost saving benefits in comparison to overhead power lines. One of these benefits is reduced maintenance and repair costs. UHVC networks are buried so they are less susceptible to damage that can affect their performance.
