In fact, research and development sits at the...

P-Laser gives you more – in three ways P-Laser is the rst eco-sustainable cable for electrical grids. It gives you the ideal solution with which to deliver enhanced network reliability, whilst enjoying operational and environmental benets. Operating temperature range increased by 20% P-Laser isn’t compromised by temperatures as high as 130ºC. So in the case of emergencies or grid congestion, it delivers greater capability, meaning your network reliability isn’t compromised and you mitigate the risk of nancial penalties. Superior service thanks to production time cut from days to hours The...

With P-Laser, rising network temperature doesn’t mean falling reliability In the case of network emergencies or grid congestion, power surges and increased traffic can cause cable temperatures to rise – which can reduce the life expectancy of other cabling solutions. P-Laser is different. A medium-voltage solution manufactured using thermoplastic, it’s capable of performing at higher temperatures than other cabling technology. So you know that when the pressure is on, your network will still perform. Operating temperature Emergency temperature Dielectric strength Electrical breakdown Very...

A production process that means better service for you The production of P-Laser is more efficient and reliable than previously achievable with existing cabling solutions. P-Laser is manufactured using a high-performance thermoplastic elastomer (HPTE) developed by Prysmian’s R&D laboratories and covered by patents and patent applications. The use of thermoplastic means degassing is no longer required and it is possible to manufacture P-Laser on a single and uninterrupted production line. This means product and production process are completely integrated, which signicantly streamlines the...

Meeting the demands of your business and the planet Whether it’s to satisfy your sustainability objectives or to reduce your impact on the planet, environmental concerns are never far from the agenda of a utility organisation like yours. That’s why P-Laser cabling is the ideal answer. Manufactured using thermoplastic and fully recyclable materials, the solution is 100% eco-friendly. What’s more, its innovative production process and ‘zero-gas technology’ mean increased energy efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Meeting regulatory requirements Along with all other Prysmian...

Total Compatibility P-Laser technology has been designed to meet your precise requirements. Every stage of its production – and its performance – is optimised to deliver maximum benet to you. P-Laser represents a major step forward in distribution network cabling, but its implementation in the eld is entirely consistent with existing processes. — The same tools — The same joints — The same preparation methods — The same technicians From the outset of the P-Laser project, compatibility has been at the forefront of our thinking. We were determined to develop a product that integrated...

P-Laser – a history of innovation The history of Prysmian Group is punctuated by many notable innovations. From the laying of cabling between Italy and the American continent to a submarine telephone line between Europe and South America, we’ve constantly led the world in cable solutions. P-Laser is a further continuation of this commitment to innovation, representing a breakthrough in sustainability and performance. 2003 Start of development activity in R&D, Milan Laboratory P-Laser track record 2005 Prototype production in Pignataro Maggiore (Italy) More than 17,000km core produced in...
