Products for Overhead Catenary Systems (OCS) more than just a contact wire

With this brochure you get a complete survey of our

manufacturing scope of products for Overhead Catenary
Systems (OCS).

This survey includes all basic data that are important for your
technology and informs you about all standard types of our
products.

As leading manufacturer of products for OCS we are of

course able to adapt to your special requirements at short
notice.

To realise your demands we can rely on our long practical

experience and fundamental knowledge of the metallurgy of
the used materials. Our products comply with demands that
considerably exceed the requirements in normal standards for
Bare Conducting Material.

Nevertheless, only an additional meeting with our experts can

clarify all your questions and give to you the information you
need.

1) The cable weights are calculated on a density of 8.15 kg/dm for Staku I and II with a conductivity of 30% of a wire made of soft annealed
copper; on a density of 8.20 kg/dm for Staku I and II with a conductivity of 40 % of a wire made of soft annealed copper and a medium regular
twist length of lay. The medium regular twist length of lay is defined by the arithmetic average of minimum and maximum values of the values for
the regular twist length of lay in the standards concerned.

2) For cables with a nominal cross section of 50 mm the number of wires has to be specified in the order.

3) Reference values for continuous current- carrying capacity valid up to 60 Hz at a wind velocity of 0.6 m/s and sun intensity (for Germany) for
a starting ambient temperature of 35 C and a final temperature of the conductor of 80 C. For special environmental situations (calm) the values
have to be decreased by about 30%.

Other constructions: e.g. Staku II/30, Staku I/40, Staku II/40 or international standards and customer specifications on request.
