SWER line project serving isolated locations in Australia, as part of a Victorian Government funded Powerline Bushfire Safety Program (PBSP)
Custom engineered, Lo-Sag™ covered conductors utilises the features and benefits of Epsilon carbon fibre composite cores, with a specially engineered high conductivity tubular aluminium conductor and a specially formulated flame retardant polymer sheathing compound. The result is a SWER solution which significantly reduces the risk of wildfire while maintaining essential power distribution.
Nexans Lo-Sag™ solution is engineered to replace existing SWER lines without any additional cost or replacement of existing infrastructure.
