ZCO3 & ZCO3-SH Main Signalling Cables (AC Electrified High Speed Lines)
Application
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=0.21 at inductive voltage 100V/km) and are suitable for installation in high speed railway lines electrifi ed at 25KV ac.
Standard
Cable Construction
- Conductors: Solid annealed copper, 1.0 mm^2 nominal cross section area.
- Insulation: Solid polyethylene.
- Cabling Element: Four conductors are twisted to form a quad.
- Stranding: Quads are helically stranded to get the cable core.
- Core Wrapping: Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.
- Inner Sheath: Low density polyethylene. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).
- Electrostatic Shield: Corrugated copper tape.
- Intermediate Sheath: Low density polyethylene. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).
- Electromagnetic Shield: Two helically applied steel tapes (0.5mm).
- Outer Sheath: PE/PVC compound. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).
- Remarks: ZCO3: PE/PVC Sheath; ZCO3-SH: LSZH Sheath.
