E3X® Technology

Increased power at a lower cost

Prysmian's innovative E3X® Grid Enhancing Technology represents a significant advancement for the utility industry. As the first heat-dissipating overhead conductor, it provides utility professionals with a reliable solution to reduce power losses, increase capacity, and lower costs, while supporting more efficient, sustainable power grids.

E3X® Technology features a thin, durable coating that can be applied to any TransPowr® overhead conductor. This heat-dissipating coating increases emissivity and reduces absorptivity, effectively addressing energy-efficiency challenges. It enables higher ampacity ratings, lowers operating temperatures, and reduces energy losses, allowing engineers to design more resilient and cost-effective power systems.

Delivering significant savings

Up to 20% Reduced Project Costs*

Optimizing conductor size or reducing sag can lead to lower costs for structures, hardware, and labor associated with new lines. 

 

Up to 25% Increased Ampacity*

Enhancing conductor ampacity enables greater capacity on new lines and reduces reconductoring costs without requiring upgrades to existing infrastructure.

 

Up to 25% Lower Line Loss*

Reducing line losses by lowering operating temperatures can deliver significant long-term savings.

 

Up to 30% Reduced Operating Temperature*

Lower operating temperatures not only reduce power losses but also increase the power-carrying capacity, thereby improving efficiency and lowering overall system costs.
