Who invented composite cores for high voltage overhead lines?

Brandt Goldsworthy and his team were the first to come up with this idea in the 1990’s. M. Goldsworthy had the idea to replace the traditional steel core in High Voltage conductors with a composite core, and laid out the foundation for the first generation of composite conductors.

In fact, M. Goldsworthy was nicknamed “the father of composites” as he also co-invented the pultrusion process and various other composite manufacturing processes. Epsilon’s founder Stéphane LULL and his associate Laurent GUITTON (our VP Business Development) had the opportunity to work with M. Goldsworthy in California around the same period, before he passed away. We are proud to have carried on his work and his legacy to this date, as we refined the pultrusion process and developed the ECRC® and other technologies with partners from all over the world.
