THE DETAILS

   
The key economic and design performance features of INESSCON's New Third-Rail Power include...

• Lowest resistance of 1 microohm/foot (and less) in the industry.

• Low resistance conductor rail offers highly economical benefits in system retrofitting when implementing CBTC/AATC train controls in accommodation of headway reduction, resulting in increased passenger capacities and new revenues.

• 100% metal-to-metal adhesion of the aluminum /steel composite structure, which results in the highest electrical efficiency.

• 100% corrosion-free operation for the full life cycle of the conductor.

• Reduction in electrical losses (I&R) of well over 80% for most third-rail retrofit applications.

• Significant reduction in electrical power cost.

• Significant elimination of system voltage sagging.

• System load capacity of 6,000 amps and above at system voltage levels up to to 1,000 VDC.

• Reduction in the number of system power feed stations, resulting in significant capital cost savings.

• Product lengths of up to 60 feet, reducing splice joints by up to 50%, resulting in savings of capital costs, installation costs, and maintenance expenses.

The original Inesscon power conductor design has proven itself through its excellent performance in well over 30 years of continuous subway operations by BART, the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area Rapid Transit District.
