Reconductoring solutions for increased ampacity

Double your line ampacity with advanced conductors

Reconductoring (or rewiring) of existing overhead line infrastructures with advanced conductors makes it possible to tenfold current carrying capacity without increasing footprint nor artificialization of soils. With their lightweight designs, advanced conductors allow to reuse existing pylons while boosting line ampacity, resulting in optimized capex, simplified permitting procedures and fast-tracked projects.

Nexans offers a comprehensive range of advanced conductor designs allowing to increase ampacity and operation temperature by +10% to +100%.
