Invar Conductors

These conductors use a combination of Aluminium Clad Invar (a special Fe-Ni alloy with very low thermal expansion coefficient) for the core, and super thermal resistant Al-Zr alloy for the conductive layer. This allows:

Invar conductors are especially suitable to replace ACSR conductors in short and middle spans lengths in all the orographic conditions (plain, hill or mountains).
