The insulated Suspension Chain ISC

is a straightforward solution for increasing the operating voltage of power lines fast and simple. Voltage increases can mean lengthy planning approval processes and high investment costs if the towers need to be changed. With Insulated Suspension Chain ISC (German: iTAK – isolierte Tragabspannkette), the tower and suspension points remain the same. The existing infrastructure (poles) can still be used. Furthermore the ISC is an excellent solution to fulfill the requirements of  bird protection.
