Aerial video of a HVCRC® river crossing during a reconductoring project in Vietnam, on a 220kV line for Vietnam Electricity (EVN). HVCRC® ULS 520-60 (Warsaw size) was used for this 1 km river crossing on the Song Lô river. “ULS” stands for “Ultra Low Sag”, because this conductor uses a special composite core made with

Epsilon technical team demonstrated our patented composite core monitoring technology, CORECHECK®, during an advanced conductor installation performed by Electromontaj teams. The field tests were conducted in Romania on a 400kV transmission line under construction, which will soon be operated by Romanian TSO Transelectrica. The tests were successful and participants witnessed the capabilities and ease of use
