Third - Rail Insulators Manufacturers in India

Third - Rail Insulators

Radiant Enterprises manufactures solid epoxy insulators for Third Rail or Conductor Rail.

Radiant Enterprises makes UV and weather-resistant insulators made of cycloaliphatic epoxy resin compositions, which are used in third-rail insulators(Railway Insulator), power rail insulators, and conductor-rail insulators.

Third-rail systems, which use an additional rail, supply electric traction power (known as a "conductor rail"). The conductor rail is usually located outside the running rails on the sleeper ends in most systems. The conductor rail is supported at 3-6 metre intervals by cycloaliphatic epoxy insulators, ceramic pot insulators, or insulated brackets.

In recent years, epoxy third rail insulators have steadily replaced obsolete ceramic insulators. Cycloaliphatic epoxy insulators have the advantage of being able to be installed in the same area as the existing third rail. There are no further structural alterations that are required. Cycloaliphatic Epoxy conductor rail insulators are especially versatile since they may be cast in virtually any geometry and design.

The cycloaliphatic insulators have passed the EN 45545 and UL 94 V0 tests. For selected models, we also give fire and smoke certifications in compliance with ASTM D2196, D229, D2303, and D495 standards.

We've just included a small sampling of possible casting changes here due to data protection concerns. Radiant has located additional track insulators.

The train's point of contact with the rail varies: some early systems employed top contact, while subsequent advancements used side or bottom contact, allowing the conductor rail to be covered.

High voltages (over 1500 V) are not regarded as acceptable in third rail systems because they pose an electric shock hazard near to the ground. To transfer enough power, a very high current must be employed, resulting in considerable resistive losses and needing feed points that are relatively near together.

Anyone wandering or falling onto the rails will be electrocuted by the electric rail. When allowed by the station layout, this can be avoided by utilising platform screen doors, or the risk can be decreased by situating the conductor rail on the side of the track away from the platform. Although many systems do not employ one, the risk can be lessened by using a cover board supported by brackets to protect the third rail from contact. When cover boards are employed, the structure gauge near the top of the rail is reduced. As a result, the loading gauge is reduced.
