Power distribution interfaces simplify rail vehicle connections

Harting has developed new interfaces for the power supply of trains that are optimized for a long service life. The Han HPR High Performance Transformer Connector (HPTC) is a transformer interface especially developed for railway customers and optimized for outdoor use.
The Han HPTC unit connects the converter to the transformer. The new interface is available in the 400, 850 and 1400 A power classes, while voltages up to 3.6 kV/4.8 kV can be transmitted.
IP degree of protection up to IP69K can also be implemented. In addition, the Han HPR VarioShell (left) was specifically developed for jumper applications.
The two-part enclosure achieves protection class IP69K by using a counterpressure frame, in connection with a circumferential internal seal.
The enclosure cover is removable, allowing efficient assembly from both inside and outside the wagon.
Watch video demonstration:
Han HPR TPL train power line (right) for power distribution in underfloor areas ensures that there is only one completely pre-assembled Y-distributor as standard interface as well as single poles for the pluggable connection of the cables. Consequently, the TPL becomes a uniform power supply across all wagons.
