Sep 9, 2009
Nexans will supply the onboard power, control and data cables for 16 trains being built for Mumbai's new metro system after winning a contract from Nanjing SR Puzhen Rail Transport (NPRT) of China.
Over 12 months, Nexans will supply NPRT with 932km of specialised rail cables for installation on 16 four-car Mumbai metro trains.
The cables, which belong to the Flamex range of special cables for the rolling-stock industry, meet the international NFF standard and will distribute power throughout the new trains.
They will also provide control and data-communication services for a variety of high-tech ancillary systems such as signalling and passenger information.
Nexans has worked closely with NPRT to develop the ideal cable solution for each application.
This collaboration has resulted in an important advance in cable technology for Nexans as it will be the first time that it has supplied twisted power cables for a rail customer.
The twisted design has been specified for the power connection between the converters and traction motors to eliminate harmonics.
This improves the stability of the traction system and meets EMC requirements.
