Technical comments

Application
Tensioning equipment from Siemens terminations or supports. All products
are suitable for multiple uses in all are distinguished in particular by high
overhead contact line systems, such as corrosion resistance, long service life
for the installation of cross catenaries, and minimal maintenance work.

Types
Most products are available in several – Stainless steel – Cast steel or malleable cast iron,
materials: – Copper or copper alloys hot-dip galvanized
– Aluminium or aluminium alloys

Notes
The products are designed to match the The minimum failing loads indicated for
loads and connecting dimensions of all clevis links with pins and split pins
the cables, wires and fittings. apply only for a side clearance between
the links of less than 2 mm.

Technical comments

Application
Insulators separate energised compo-
nents of the contact wire and traction
power lines from each other and from
earth. They must fulfill both electrical
and mechanical requirements.

Types
Siemens provides insulators the – Composite insulators made of GRP – Rod insulators made of ceramic for
following types: and silicone for cantilevers, catena- cantilevers, catenaries, termina-
ries, terminations and feeder lines tions and feeder lines
– Insulators made of cast resin for
cantilevers and feeder lines

Notes
You have to consider after all the catalog when selecting insulators.
required creepage distance depending Please also keep to the erevant stan-
on potentional fouling and additionally dards. Further informations in the
the technical information given in the relevant product descriptions.

Application
Tension wheel equipment serve to constant tensile force in both contact catenary wire. It minimizes subsequent
tension contact wires and/or and catenary wires, irrespective of vari- damage to the catenary system and
messenger wires either jointly or sepa- ations in contact and catenary wire prevents the weights from falling on
rately at the end of each tension section lengths caused by temperature the track, side paths, etc.
for tension forces up to a maximum of changes. The latching function of the
40 kN. Tensioning with tension wheel tension wheel equipment engages in
equipment ensures a predetermined, case of rupture of contact and/or

Types
Siemens sells tension wheel equip- – On open sections – For narrow installation space
ments for the following installation – In tunnels with cut-outs – Fixing on lattice steel or concrete
situations: – In rectangular tunnels poles
– On straight structures
