Therefore the replacing oil cable by dry one is very important to ensure a continuity and safety for operation of Hoa Binh power plant. The oil cables for remain units would be gradually replaced.
Leaders of EVNPSC check the items before energizing the unit.
Dry cable has more advantages than oil cable as more compact, simpler, higher quality, longer life and withstand the natural environment at higher temperature.
