Wires for Overhead Electrification Systems
An overhead wire utilized to carry electrical vitality to cable cars, trolleybuses or trains collectively defined as contact wire system. On the other hand catenary wire are basically cords of uniform density across a specific cross-section that is perfectly flexible, but not capable of being stretched and therefore hangs. To keep the high-speed current flowing for the efficient functioning of trains, trams and metros it's mandatory that the contact and catenary wire 's geometry is within the desirable limits. Difference between the two wires • Catenary wires: With these wires, the supply of electricity is done through an overhead system of suspended cable that keeps on hanging. • Contact wires actually carry the electricity. They are hung from or are connected to other wires which assure that the contact cable is at an equal height and in the correct position. The contact and catenary wire is basically our present as well as our future demand and so accord
