Railway tramway contact lines
RAILWAY AND TRAMWAY CONTACT LINES INNOVATION IN POWER TRANSMISSION Cariboni, an Alstom company since 2008, is a leading European player Established in 1908, with about 85 employees operating in the surroundings of Lake Como – one of the main industrialised areas of Northern Italy – the company specialises in: • Design and manufacturing of in the design and manufacturing of components for railways, tramways materials for power transmission. and trolley bus contact lines • Bus-bar ducts for power plants • HV/MV connectors and fittings • Power supply systems for overhead cranes and hoists 2 | CARIBONI ALSTOM | Our excellent workforce is committed in Cariboni is proud of being included the seamless effort to manage the most in the list of the most important demanding projects aiming at achieving European manufacturers of railway top notch customer satisfaction. systems and of being a reliable partner of all the major worldwide Nowadays, we can offer our customers leading manufacturers of overhead all kinds of products and services, contact line systems. ranging from the design, engineering, testing and manufacturing of complete Cariboni specialises in the design cantilevers to the manufacturing of all and manufacturing of contact lines sorts of droppers, fittings and clamps for railways, metro lines, tramways, based on customer-specific requirements. undergrounds and trolley-buses. Our mission is to meet our customers’ expectations, both when they need an We are ready to fully meet all your integrated service or when they need needs. products manufactured on time and according to the highest quality level. | www.cariboni.it | 3 CLAMPS STEADY ARMS DROPPERS Clamps are devices that hold Steady arms are crucial for proper Droppers are used to ensure that the messenger and contact wires, operation of cantilevers. Our steady contact wire remains parallel to rail connect the cantilever pipes and arms come in a wide range of shapes, track. anchor the wires within the diverse sizes and characteristics to perfectly range of materials used, the match our customer specifications. Our broad range of products includes most important ones are bronze- Our steel or aluminium-alloy steady standard bronze-aluminium alloys, aluminium and CuNi2Si. arms can be insulated or otherwise and copper-nickel alloy products that terminals are made of steel or copper provide the highest performance in Our company caters for any type alloy. Coupling between tubes and terms of mechanical resistance and of customer requirements and terminals can be done by crimping. electrical conductivity (which, in turn, specifications and is capable of allow for weight and size reduction). constantly renewing itself thanks to its R&D activity that ensures compliance with the most stringent quality standards. 4 | CARIBONI ALSTOM | . INSULATORS CANTILEVERS SECTION INSULATORS Our insulators for the 3kV contact Capitalising on the huge experience Section insulators are essential for line are RFI S.p.A (Italian railways) and expertise gained over time in this contact lines. For the 3 kV types for approved. Their core is made of specific field, Cariboni designs, makes 1 or 2 contact wires, Cariboni has fibre glass and insulation is provided and supplies complete cantilevers at obtained the approval from RFI SpA. by silicon rubber coating. We also 0.75, 1.5, 3, 15, 25 kV according to Also available are new 3kV and 25 kV make different types of low and customer specifications for the entire ones for high-speed lines. medium voltage fibre-glass insulators range of overhead contact lines to be used on the contact lines manufactured and marketed by us. | www.cariboni.it | 5 RIGID CATENARY TENSIONING DEVICES In the standard system, contact wires for Our standard tensioning devices are the catenary are supported by droppers. equipped with 3, 4 and 5 pulleys for 3 to With the rigid catenary the contact wire 25kV for all lines. Furthermore, Cariboni is inserted in the lower part of a special designs and makes special bespoke aluminium section bar without any tensioning devices compliant with auxiliary support wires. This allows to the standards required by the leading reduce the tunnel height as well as civil Europeans railway companies. engineering work costs. We design and make all accessories according to the customer specifications. 6 | CARIBONI ALSTOM | APS GROUND FEEDING SYSTEM THIRD RAIL SYSTEM This is an innovative feeding system The third rail system is designed to for the tramway line which takes the conduct the high traction currents electrical energy from the ground. with low voltage systems between Without prejudice to the tramway 600V DC and 1,500V DC. performance, thanks to this system The conductor rail is made of highly unattractive overhead contact lines no conductive extruded aluminium longer overhang old city centres. This alloy and coupled with wear- system, made of fibre-glass rail with resistant stainless steel to withstand steel conductors and insulating parts, friction. The big cross section of ensures safety also when placed on the the aluminium section bar of the ground. conductor system allows to minimise voltage drop and - in general - also load losses.
