Pressurized air cables for energy transmission
"Pressurized air cables" are a new technical alternative for overhead lines and cables. At medium- and high-voltage level they efficienctly transmit electric energy in compact arrangements. They are best for grid operators and neighborhood.

Pressurized air cables reduce the environmental impact of electric energy transmission by:
- A new, patented "pressurized air cable" technology
- Replacement of overhead lines and cables with improved technical parameters
- Better efficiency and reduced losses during operation
- Using air for insulation (instead of SF6 gas)
- Avoiding corona noise and shielding electromagnetic fields
- Compact dimensions and reduced trench dimensions
- Using existing linear infrastructure to transmit energy
- Improved fire protection due to metallic enclosure
Hivoduct is a Swiss High-Tech Startup which develops and produces pressurized air cables in Switzerland and provides all related customer services.
