Catenary system materials for local mass transit:
The product portfolio encompasses the entire range of supporting structures and tensioning materials, insulators, structural elements for supporting points, holders for contact and messenger wires, clamps, tensioners and other components.
Steel masts:
These masts have been developed by SPL Powerlines Germany and are made from U-shaped sectional steel. They can be used for a variety of situations and are a very affordable option. Switch actuators, switch rods and retensioning weight columns can all be built into the mast.
GRP masts:
The innovative GRP masts are made from non-conductive composite fibres in an intelligent lightweight structure. The GRP material is completely non-conductive, enabling overhead catenaries to be constructed without insulators. The product complies with all construction analysis stipulations in regard of strength and rigidity, and exceeds the standing times of conventional masts due extreme corrosion and weather resistance.
Cantilevers:
The cantilevers serve as supports for suspension cables and catenary wires. Special analytical programmes are used to determine the correct type of cantilever required based on the relevant support point and track information.
Section insulators:
Section insulators are built into the overhead catenary systems to divide the entire system into switching sections. Current is fed into the catenary wires via cables.
Conductor rails:
Conductor rail systems deliver the optimum power supply, reliably and safely. The system is adaptable to customer requirements and can be put together flexibly using a ‘construction set’ system. Superior quality materials, low wear and highly effective corrosion resistance guarantee a long working life.

Wheel tensioning:
The wheel tensioning is used to compensate for the changes in length to load suspension and catenary contact wires that occur due to temperature changes, and to ensure the tension level of the contact wire remains constant.
Cantilevers:
The cantilevers serve as supports for suspension cables and catenary wires. Various types are used, depending on the specific conditions at each location, include framework cantilever for two tracks, or cantilever with offset insulators.
Switch Framework:
At a railway station, these frames draw together all the drive systems, outdoor circuit breakers, switching rods, bus bars, cable and wire connections. Transverse conduits are used to feed electricity straight into the catenary contact lines via individual switch groups.
Section insulators:
Section insulators are built into the overhead catenary systems to divide the entire system into switching sections. The type of insulator used depends on the conditions prevailing at each location.
Off-the-floor cable routing:
Bridge and underpass sections necessitate the rerouting of overhead wires – down from the masts before the respective obstacle and back up to the masts afterwards. To this purpose, cable protectors are fitted to the lower section of the masts.
Mast circuit breakers:
These are either mounted on the masts or the switch framework. They consist of a movable and a fixed contact using a hand or motor-driven switch rod.
