First advanced reconductoring project in Romania, with an ACPR Losag conductor stranded by Nexans and installed by Electromontaj, using Tesmec machines and fittings from Dervaux (Sicame group).
For this project located in a challenging mountainous region, Transelectrica selected a 100% carbon fiber core encapsulated in aluminum to accomodate heavy ice loads during winter times.
Cristi OICA, Electromontaj site manager shared his experience on the conductor installation in the video below.
