    ZPAU & ZPAU-SH Main Signalling Cables (AC Electrified Lines)

    Applications

    The cables are designed for connection between traffic control centers and equipment shelters along the trackside. The cables are specially designed to give good induction protection (R.F= 0.26 at inductive voltage 100V/km) and are suitable for installation in intercity railways electrifi ed at 25KV ac.

    Standards

    SNCF CT 445 / SNCT ST 698G

    NF F 55-698

    Construction

    Conductors : Solid annealed copper, 1.0/1.5 mm² nominal cross section area.

    Insulation : Solid polyethylene.

    Cabling Element : Each two conductors are twisted together to form a pair.

    Stranding : Pairs are helically stranded in layers to form the cable core.

    Core Wrapping : Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.

    Inner Sheath : PE sheath. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).

    Electrostatic Shield : One corrugated copper tape.

    Intermediate Sheath : PE/PVC sheath. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).

    Electromagnetic Shield : Two helically applied steel tapes of 0.5mm.

    Outer Sheath : PE/PVC Sheath. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).

    Remarks : ZPAU : PE/PVC Sheath; ZPAU-SH : LSZH Sheath.
