Railway Cables | ||||||||||||
EUROBALISE BGA
Application
The cables are used as balise cables for ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) railway networks. The cables are armoured and can provide low reduction factor.
Standards
● CEI 20-11
● CEI 20-14
● CEI 20-29
● CEI 20-34
● CEI 46-4
● CEI 103-10
Construction
Conductors
Solid annealed copper, 1.6 mm nominal diameter.
Insulation
Solid polyethylene.
Stranding
Conductors will be stranded with dielectric fi llers in order to get a circular core shape.
Core Wrapping
Plastic tape (s) with overlapping.
Inner Sheath
Low density polyethylene.
Screen
Aluminium/polyethylene tape longitudinally applied and overlapped.
Drain Wire
Tinned copper drain wire
Intermediate Sheath
Low density polyethylene.
Armour
Two galvanized steel tapes.
Outer Sheath
Low density polyethylene.
