What is Traction Power Cable? Traction Power Wire is a heavy-duty industrial cable used in traction substations, traction current converter plants and traction power substations (TPSS). Traction Power is an electrical substation that converts electric power from the form provided by the electrical power industry for public utility service to an appropriate voltage, current type and frequency to supply railways, trams (streetcars) or trolleybuses with traction current.

Traction Power Wire Manufacturing Construction:

AC / DC Traction Power Conductor: Class B or C compressed stranded copper. Center strand embossed with “1XTechnologies, Year, Plant” when required.
Binder Tape: Mylar Tape (Manufactured with premium Mylar)
Insulation: Clean Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) Type RHH/RHW-2
Overall Jacket: EnviroTech® Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Jacket

AC / DC TRACTION CABLE APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES:

1XTechnologies 2000V EPR/EnviroTech Traction-Power-Cable is suited for use in mass transit and general industrial applications where flexibility, fire resistance, and low smoke generation are a concern. Our AC / DC Traction Power Cable may be installed in wet or dry locations in cable trays or raceways. These cables are capable of operating continuously at a conductor temperature, not in excess of 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Resistance to moisture and most oils, acids, and alkalis with an overall durable LSZH XLPO jacket. Meets Flame Spread and Smoke Release requirements of NFPA 130. Alternate constructions available upon request.
