GB12971, BS EN 50149 or other standards on request.
Contact wires are mainly used in the railway industry, transmitting power from the catenary wires to the locomotive. Weiguang Copper and Copper Alloy contact wires can be made from Copper (Cu-ETP), copper-tin alloy (Cu-Sn), Copper-Magnesium alloy (Cu-Mg), Copper-Silver alloy (Cu-Ag), Aluminium and steel. Shapes can be customized according to the customer’s requirements.
