Eliminate costly interruptions
BlueWire prevents ice and frost buildup on tram, light rail, and trolleybus wires, ensuring smooth operations even in freezing conditions. It eliminates costly disruptions and ensures trams leave the depot on time every morning.
Powered by the overhead wire system, BlueWire is an efficient heating cable solution that reduces the need for expensive ice-removal vehicles or de-icing liquids. It works with overhead systems from 600 to 900 V, improving traffic flow and cutting costs.
Avoid Heavy Ice Buildup
Prevent ice buildup that could damage the wire system with BlueWire. Eliminate costly interruptions of revenue
service due to the effect of ice/frost accumulation on the contact wire. Ice on the contact wire causes tramlines and
light rail trains to lose power and in extreme cases leads to the contact wire / catenary system being brought down.
Permanent solution
Always ready – fully automatic or remotely controlled at your fingertips.
Secure Early Morning Exit
Ensures on-time morning departures of trains and trams from the depot, every day.

Extend Pantograph Lifespan
Arcing caused by the presence of ice leads to excessive wear to the pantograph conductors, all leading to traffic delays and service disruption.
A sustainable, low-maintenance solution.
Mechanical removal of ice is manpower and time consuming and mechanically stresses the contact wire.
Secure Electrical Contact
The heating cable is installed on the contact wire using special clips. The clips are made of phosphor-bronze to avoid galvanic corrosion. The heating cable is in a triangular shape. This makes it very easy to mount on top of the contact wire and the shape provides good thermal contact to the contact wire.
