Ice on the contact wire / overhead line causes tramlines and light rails to loose power. In severe cases the contact wire / overhead line or even the entire catenary system may break down. The ice may cause arcing and lead to excessive wear to the pantograph conductors, and in worst cases lead to traffic delays and service disruption.
With our System Blue Wire de-icing system you achieve several advantages:
No ice and frost accumulation on the contact wire / overhead line
The efficient electrical heating of the contact wire / overhead line brings the temperature above freezing point.
The mechanical stress on the contact wire / overhead line is reduced
You do not need mechanically to remove ice.
Quick and easy installation
The flexible silicone rubber sheath, the light weight and the triangle shape make installation easy.
High heating efficiency
The triangle shape of the heating element ensures maximum surface contact with the contact wire / overhead line.
Excellent performance
Using a UV resistant silicone rubber heat transferring jacket assures the very best performance.
State-of-the-art control systems
Based on air temperature, wire temperature, humidity, dew point and / or weather forecast, the heat control system ensures the optimum energy saving.
Monitoring and control
The System Blue Wire wirelessly monitors the entire installation.
