Hivoduct Pressurized Air Cables
In his presentation, Dr. Walter Holaus will present Hivoduct’s innovative Pressurized Air Cable technology — a sustainable, gas-insulated alternative to traditional overhead lines and conventional cables for medium- and high-voltage transmission (up to 245 kV / 4000 A, ~1600 MW). Key highlights: Environmentally friendly – Uses pressurized air as insulation, replacing SF₆ and built underground with no emissions. Versatile portfolio and layouts – Single-phase and compact 3-phase enclosures, high-current designs for tunnels, substations, grid expansion, data centers, and renewable integration. Proven use cases – Switzerland’s first 145 kV installation and 245 kV tunnel project demonstrate reliability, fire resistance, and efficient power transfer in space-constrained environments. Join us to explore how Hivoduct enables the energy transition with compact, high-performance transmission solutions.
