Optimizing railways with NORTHBRIDGES 

In the ever-evolving landscape of rail transport, the advent of bus bar technology marked a significant leap forward. NORTHBRIDGES, with both laminated bus bar and powder coated bus bar solutions, is at the heart of this transformation, driving the railways and metros sectors towards a more efficient and sustainable future.

Bus bars for railways

Bus bars in railways are crucial for distributing electrical power throughout the train. NORTHBRIDGES's bus bars for railways are designed for high conductivity and resistance to vibration and thermal expansion, ensuring reliable power distribution under various operating conditions. 

For what types of railways are NORTHBRIDGES's bus bar suitable?

NORTHBRIDGES's railway bus bar is designed to cater to a diverse range of railway systems, from high-speed trains to urban transit systems. Each type of railway has unique requirements, and NORTHBRIDGES' solutions are tailored to meet these specific needs.

Laminated bus bar and powder coated bus bar for High-Speed Trains

High-speed trains require railway bus bar that can handle the intense electrical demands and high-speed operations. NORTHBRIDGES's laminated bus bar and powder coated bus bar for high-speed trains are designed to provide reliable power distribution, ensuring the safety and efficiency of these fast-moving trains. They are built to withstand the high voltages and currents typical in high-speed rail application.

Laminated bus bar and powder coated bus bar for Intercity and Regional Trains

Intercity and regional trains need reliable bus bar for efficient power distribution. NORTHBRIDGES's bus bars are designed to ensure consistent electrical conductivity and durability, essential for the smooth operation of these trains over varying distances. Bus bars are customized to handle the varying speeds and electrical loads typical of intercity and regional rail services.

Laminated bus bar and powder coated bus bar for Urban Transit Systems

Urban transit systems, such as metros and trams, need durable and efficient bus bars for their power distribution as well as traction converter. NORTHBRIDGES's bus bars are engineered to deliver optimal electrical conductivity and minimal inductance, ensuring smooth operation and longevity in the demanding urban transit environment. Bus bars are designed to perform consistently in frequent start-stop conditions typical of urban transit systems.

Laminated bus bar and powder coated bus bar for electric locomotive and diesel locomotive

Electric locomotives and diesel locomotives, which often carry heavy loads over long distances, require robust bus bars that can endure the rigors of heavy-duty use. NORTHBRIDGES's bus bars for electric locomotives and diesel locomotives are built to provide stable and secure power distribution and traction conversion, ensuring reliable electrical contact and minimal downtime. Their durability is key in the harsh conditions often encountered in freight rail operations.

Laminated bus bar and powder coated bus bar for mountain railways

With altitude and snow, mountain railways operate in challenging environments and require bus bars that can withstand extreme conditions. NORTHBRIDGES's bus bars for mountain railways are designed to maintain consistent operation, even in the face of steep inclines, sharp turns, and varying weather conditions.
