ENHANCING RELIABILITY AND RESILIENCE OF UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS USING INNOVATIVE SPLICING

Melni Technologies is redesigning and developing novel medium-voltage power cable splice kits that require fewer steps and streamline connections to greatly reduce human errors and boost the reliability of underground electrical power distribution systems. The splice kits feature Melni's proprietary Dual Helix Spiral Technology, which expands and contracts as electrical currents and temperatures vary. The kit also contains an integrated housing system with medium-voltage insulation and components that require only basic hand tools for installation. Melni’s proposed kits could be installed in 10-15 minutes, which is 3-4 times faster than conventional kits, and would reduce failures and mistakes up to 90% by eliminating installation steps and potential human errors.
