To address the challenges posed by harsh weather conditions, constructing a resilient and adaptable distribution network is essential.
Distribution system operator (DSO) Vattenfall, operating in northern Sweden's Arjeplog region, exemplifies this proactive approach by implementing a new Full Covered Conductor Solution (FCCS) line. This aligns with a broader trend in Sweden, where many of the DSO’s prefer Ensto's FCCS for its quality and ease of installation, along with our dedication to excellent service.
FCCS offers a comprehensive solution, protecting against ice, snow, storms, and wildlife interference with minimal interruptions and size-efficient designs.
Our other solution for protecting overhead distribution lines, the maintenance-free Auguste load break switch, ensures reliable electricity distribution even in severe weather conditions. It rapidly isolates faults, enables automatic isolation, and restores power within minutes, enhancing grid safety and reliability, even in remote locations.
Our customers gain value from a secured network, protected against adverse weather conditions and potential faults, such as wildfires that can result from damaged power lines, standing without our reinforced protection. The space-saving design of FCCS reduces the need for extensive forest clearing and preserves natural habitats by requiring narrower line areas, while Auguste's reliability minimises outage durations. Fewer faults and lower maintenance costs enhances the security of electricity supply, underscoring the sustainability of our solutions.
