The electrification of railways in industry and mining companies is often an economical solution when viewed over the life cycle of the systems.
Siemens designs and implements electrification ideas that are optimized for low operating costs. There is a variety of contact line designs ranging from 1200 V DC to 6600 V AC suitable for this type of application
Mainly Siemens uses:
- tensioned overhead contact lines with catenary
- suspensiontensioned trolley-type contact lines
The use of line feeders enables a demand meeting and efficient power supply in contact line systems.
Contact line systems with special operational requirements:
Siemens builds stope-type contact lines when the track and the contact line system within an open-cast mining area must be movable. For loading large-capacity wagons with bulk goods, side contact lines are used in the loading areas of power plants and open-cast mines.
