BOSTRAIL® Traction Power Cable

BOSTRAIL® Traction Power Cable
Product description

These are single-conductor 2000-volt power cables for which low-smoke, non-halogen cables are required. They consist of an insulated conductor jacketed with an ethylene-propylene rubber and a tough, low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) crosslinked polyolefin (XLPO) jacket. They are highly heat-, oil-, and moisture-resistant, extremely tough yet flexible, and can sustain wet or dry operating temperatures up to 90 °C. A shielded version is also available.

 

Construction 

Conductor: The conductor is a class “B” stranded compressed concentric round in accordance with ASTM B8. The wires are uncoated, soft, annealed copper of 100% conductivity in accordance with ASTM B3. The conductor resistance meets the requirements of ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC70). 

Insulation: Low smoke non-halogen ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) rated for 90°C wet or dry, complying with ICEA standards (see chart on back). The insulation fits tightly to the conductor but is ‘clean-stripping.’ Opaque polyester tape or another suitable separator is applied over the conductor.

 Jacket: Flame-retardant, low smoke, non-halogen and oil-resistant crosslinked polyolefin (XLPO) jacket (see chart on back). The jacket is bonded to the EPR insulation.
