new conductor having more conductive material and being more efficient. Different countries, however, have their own challenges, including density of population, fluctuating terrain from fjords to mountain ranges, or the long transmission distances from production to usage.”
Commenting on Exel’ s partnership with De Angeli Prodotti( De Angeli), Heini says:“ Our partnership with De Angeli is very important for us, as well as other conductor core manufacturers we’ re partnering with. As we’ re focusing only on the composite component of the complete conductor, we’ re partnering up with conductor manufacturers, who’ ll take care of the conductive part of the conductor and put the actual conductor together. De Angeli was one of the first to approach us to supply these composite rods to be incorporated into their conductors and since then, we’ ve done extensive technical development together for these advanced conductor products, for both single and multi-wired cores.
“ Compared to traditional steel core conductors like ACSR, composite core conductors are stronger, yet lighter, carry electricity more efficiently, and withstand higher temperatures without elongating. Generally speaking, conductor cores can be divided into two categories: single wire and multi-wire cores, but both include several variations. The sensitivity of first generation single-wire conductor cores caused De Angeli to develop the ACCS-Sens conductor, where single-wire core is combined with optical fibers to ensure its integrity during and after installation. Second-generation multi-wire conductor cores alleviate worries
