EUROBALISE BGA

 

Applications :

  • The cables are used as balise cables for ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) railway networks. The cables are armoured and can provide low reduction factor.

Standards :

  • CEI 20-11
  • CEI 20-14
  • CEI 20-29
  • CEI 20-34
  • CEI 46-4
  • CEI 103-10
 

 

Construction :

  • Conductors : Solid annealed copper, 1.6 mm nominal diameter.
  • Insulation : Solid polyethylene.
  • Stranding : Conductors will be stranded with dielectric fi llers in order to get a circular core shape.
  • Core Wrapping : Plastic tape (s) with overlapping.
  • Inner Sheath : Low density polyethylene.
  • Screen : Aluminium/polyethylene tape longitudinally applied and overlapped.
  • Drain Wire : Tinned copper drain wire.
  • Intermediate Sheath : Low density polyethylene.
  • Armour : Two galvanized steel tapes.
  • Outer Sheath : Low density polyethylene.
