Infrastructure Solutions Third Rail System High-performance feeding system for metros Alstom developed its own GENERAL DESCRIPTION Third Rail System, Alstom’s third rail system is a metro feeding solution to be installed on the side of the running rail to supply the electrical power from the substation to the rolling stock. The completing its Cariboni contact line is composed of a highlyconductive aluminium profile with a stainless steel cap feeding systems offer. clamped on top. It is compatible with sleepers (concrete or wooden) and concrete slab. The third rail is kept in defined position and insulated from the ground by supports and insulators Alstom’s Third Rail System designed in accordance with the line voltage and the civil works constraints. The traction can be easily adapted to fit power is transferred from the third rail through collector shoes located on the vehicles. any specific project constraint, as well as any civil works and rolling stock interface. CUSTOMER BENEFITS High performance Easy integration With its innovative Conductor Rail design Alstom’s third rail system allows for easy with no central weld (optimal interaction extension, conversion, upgrade or with Collector Shoe), Alstom’s third rail replacement of existing lines, and thanks to system is guaranteed for at least 30 years of different profiles manufacturing capability, minimum operational service. Its design is it offers high interchangeability. also compliant with NFPA fire and smoke standards. Tailored to your needs Integrated offering The same design can be adapted to suit Alstom’s third rail system can be easily various voltage and current levels and cope integrated within a turnkey metro package, with any civil works and rolling stock matching Alstom’s Appitrack mechanised constraints. track-laying technology and the Axonis metro system.
