The increase requirements placed on transmission lines forces transmission line operators and manufacturers to eliminate all risks right from the start. The delivery of reliable products within shortest development times – with the latest high-tech simulation based on broad experience – has long been reality at Mosdorfer. MOVE offers expert support in product engineering and system development.

The services at a glance:

  • Product development for OHTL fittings (LV/HV) according to international standards or clients specification
  • System solutions for vibration protection
  • System Solutions for UHV lines and DC operations
  • System solutions for load transposition
  • System solutions for HTLS conductors
  • Development of fittings and accessories for innovative conductors
