SPEC 48302
Bronze and Alloy, Grooved Contact Wire
CuMg 0.2 (Alloy80)/CuMg 0.5 (Alloy 55) Contact CuAg0.1 and CuSn0.2/ Trolley Wire
Construction:
This product combines excellent wear characteristics, and high-tensile strength properties. Contact/ Trolley wire is available in a choice of two alloys to provide the best match of electrical and mechanical wear properties for each application - 55 percent and 80 percent conductivity IACS (CA165 and A162), and is offered in both ASTM and EN/IEC configurations: round (upon request), grooved, figure 8, or figure 9.
Applications and Features:
For use as overhead power source on streetcars, trolleys, electric trolley buses, light rail and heavy mass transit systems. Also used on electrically powered mine train, and industrial cranes. High-tensile strength properties allow for reduced clearance maintenance in tunnel applications. Southwire bronze contact/trolley wire is ideal for transportation systems with increased line speeds just over 200 mph (322 km/h).
