Overhead Lines

OVERVIEW

Committed to providing solutions whatever your transmission need

Enhanced transmission efficiency, safety and sustainability is key to accelerate modernization and expansion of energy grids and facilitate the transition to clean energy sources. Overhead transmission lines are complementary to underground cable systems and Prysmian manufactures an extensive line of overhead products both for transmission and distribution applications.

Whether a project calls for all-aluminium, aluminium alloys, steel-reinforced, composite core, trapezoidal shape, or specialized twisted pair, our extensive line of overhead conductors are available in a variety of aluminium- and steel-stranding combinations. Manufactured and tested by ASTM or CSA specifications, our 100% recyclable overhead conductors help you ensure maximum line efficiency and long-lasting reliability for current and future power transmission and distribution systems.

Inside Overhead Lines

AAC—All-Aluminum Conductor

All Aluminium Conductors are used in installations where design parameters do not require higher strength or temperature ratings.

AAAC—Aluminum Alloy Conductor

All Aluminium Alloy Conductors are extensively used for OHL adjacent to ocean coastlines where there can be a problem of corrosion.

ACSR—Aluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced

Aluminium Conductors Steel Reinforced are extensively used for OHL. Recognized for their record of economy, dependability and favorable strength/weight ratio

HTLS—High Temperature Low-Sag

Thanks to a super thermal resistant alloy used in the conductive layer, High Temperature conductors for overhead lines allow an upgrade of the existing line without any decline if exposed to high working temperatures (lower thermal coefficient that allows a reduced sag at high temperatures)
