Earthing Material for Railways

Our DEHN railway earthing system has proven itself in traffic engineering as it has been specifically developed for earthing the reinforcement of concrete parts in the vicinity of high-voltage electrical installations. It is used for establishing equipotential bonding of concrete structures and conducting short-circuit currents if the contact wire breaks.
For this purpose, DEHN provides the user with a range of earthing bridges and earthing connectors, which, due to variable end end caps and connection elements, represent a comprehensive modular system with various possible combinations. Our DEHN railway earthing systems are approved by DB Netz AG.

Objects in the area where the overhead contact line breaks that do not have sufficient short-circuit current carrying capacity put people and installations at risk. These conductive bodies, e.g., metal boundaries or fences, must be equipped with an additional, sufficiently dimensioned conductors. This is done using a short-circuit wire. It is installed on fences or boundaries and triggers a defined short-circuit in the event of a broken overhead contact line. Short-circuit wires are also used in tunnel building and for noise barriers. The necessary installation accessories, like the press connector and conductor holder, round off the full package.
