De Angeli Prodotti achieves compliance with the technical specification IEC TS 62818-1 ED1: a new standard for utilities for carbon core conductors
We are proud to announce that our conductors can fully meet the requirements of the new IEC TS 62818-1 ED1. This achievement reaffirms our commitment to innovation and quality, offering increasingly reliable solutions for the energy sector.
Additionally, the our technical department was part of the technical committee that drafted the specification, actively contributing to the definition of these new standards.
What is IEC TS 62818-1 ED1?
The IEC TS 62818-1 ED1 is an International Technical Specification published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on December 12, 2024. It defines a system for evaluation and use of fiber-reinforced composite cores as supporting elements in overhead line conductors, such as our ACCM (Aluminum Conductor Composite Multistrand).
It applies to composite cores with a polymeric matrix used as the core in overhead conductors and provides guidelines for:
- Defining common terms related to fiber-reinforced composite cores and polymeric matrix.
- Prescribing characterization methods for these core properties.
- Recommending acceptance criteria, where applicable.
These tests and criteria ensure safe use and adequate quality under normal operating conditions.
Thanks to this technical specification, utilities can now adopt our conductors with confidence, ensuring compliance with the latest international standards.e i nostri conduttori con la sicurezza di rispettare i parametri più aggiornati a livello internazionale.
Why is this beneficial for utilities?
By complying with this specification, utilities can purchase our ACCM conductors, which offer numerous advantages for power lines:
- ✅ Greater reliability: Flexibility due to the multi-core structure and material strength.
- ✅ Improved efficiency: Reduced energy losses and optimized performance.
- ✅ Sustainability: Solutions designed for long life and lower environmental impact.
Our commitment to innovation
De Angeli Prodotti continues to invest in research and development to provide cutting-edge solutions for the energy sector. Compliance with IEC TS 62818-1 ED1 represents another step towards a more efficient and sustainable future for electrical infrastructure.
We are fully compliant with all specification requirements and have already successfully completed all tests on ACCM cores, confirming the excellence of our solutions.
