Single Core Cables for Electric Locomotives & Rolling Stock Types WAG-9, WAG-9H, WAP-5 & WAP-7 (CLW/ES/03/0458 Alt.E)

These high-performance cables are built for demanding applications, ensuring efficient and reliable power transmission in power, auxillary, control, sensor and driver circuits for AC traction motors in Railway rolling stock.

Application Designed for critical power transmission within diverse railway rolling stock. These cables are primarily used as connecting leads for AC traction motors, specifically in MEMU (Mainline Electric Multiple Unit) trains and are also employed in other electric locomotives for high-voltage power circuits. Suitable for protected permanent installation in railway rolling stock (interior & exterior) for connections between fixed and moving parts
Advantages Electron beam irradiated flexible elastomeric construction ensures exceptional durability against mechanical stress, chemical exposure and temperature variations
Dual-wall insulated electrical cable with limited fire hazard properties This construction ensures extreme durability low flame spread, low smoke halogen free, flame retardant, and excellent resistance to high and low temperature, oil, ozone, weathering and abrasion. flexible & easy strippable
