We are glad to announce the official launch of the SMART CABLES project! This ambitious collaborative project is led by Epsilon Composite, in partnership with Arts et Métiers ParisTech – École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts et Métiers, ICGM / Université de Montpellier, Sicame Group and Resoltech. The project will allow the development of breakthrough innovative highvoltage Lire la suite
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 Lire la suite

Join us on 28 – 30 November on Booth 7.2.C103, French Pavillion – Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, Paris We will Lire la suite
SONATREL has chosen Epsilon Cable’s HVCRC® conductor technology for a new 225 kV transmission line in Cameroon, a project supported by World Bank funding. This interconnection initiative, known as PIRECT (Projet d’Interconnexion des Réseaux Electriques du Cameroun et du Tchad), aims to link Cameroon’s southern (RIS) and northern (RIN) electrical grids. A key objective is Lire la suite
IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) TC7 face to face meetings took place recently in Paris. Epsilon Composite Cable is proud to participate actively with others manufacturers and utilities to the 62818 working group to create a new technical specification for “conductors for overhead lines – Fiber reinforced composite core used as supporting member material”. IEC standards Lire la suite
With 3 events in 3 cities across Colombia, more than 40 participants from 15 companies in the transmission & distribution industry attended those technical days We presented the HVCRC® technology and several case studies, before discussing more in details about the technical characteristics, accessories, installation methods and sustainability aspects. We thank our local stranding partner Lire la suite
Epsilon technical team demonstrated our patented composite core monitoring technology, CORECHECK®, during an HVCRC® 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 Lire la suite
At the CIGRE 2023 Colloquium in Sendai, Japan, our Product Manager Baptiste Gary presented our paper called “Design of alternative composite core conductors of new overhead lines”, written with Maxime Delbove from Nexans. We enjoyed the discussions with utilities about the potential of cost effective composite cores which offer complementary benefits to existing HTLS conductors Lire la suite
