The employees of HELUKABEL congratulate the Electric Superbike Twente team on the release of the new electric racing motorcycle Vector-ST!
This motorcycle is the result of the perseverance of the student teams from the University of Twente and Saxion University of Applied Sciences.
As a proud sponsor, Helukabel has been supplying all cables for this project for several years, including CAN cables and the NSGAFÖU 1.8/3kV ORANGE cable. The team used the CAN cables for the entire communication network in the superbike. The sensor and control data are sent through this + the current required to supply power to all the signs.
They used the NSGAFÖU 1.8/3kV ORANGE cable for a stress test of the high voltage system. For the engineers, the shielding in the cables is of great importance to prevent the influence and interference of electromagnetic radiation from our electric motor. This is also in the SUPER-PAIR-TRONIC-340-C-PUR cable of the cooling system.
This engine is unique because of the “Swapping Technology”. The student team can replace the entire battery during a short pit stop during a race. In this way they have, as it were, doubled the range.
Helukabel is happy to contribute to the mission of the Electric Superbike Twente team: “Preserve racing for future generations”.
