POWERAIL SYSTEMS (PVC enclosed)

KSL, KSLT and KSG have been used sucessfully for many years and were permanently improved and adapted to the latest stage of technology. They are conductor lines in a rigid PVC housing, suitable for indoor and outdoor (preferably KSLT & KSG) installations. The systems fully meet international safety standards (VDE 0470 §3) and are available in 4 and 5 conductor versions. They particularly suit for mobile power feeding of overhead cranes, monorail systems, hoists, automated storage and retrieval systems, power tools, machine tools, assembly and test lines and many other applications. The Powerails require a minimum of space, are easy to install and do not corrode. Standard lengths are 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 m plus specific lengths and curves as required.

Cat. 4a

Powerail VKS is a space saving conductor system, designed to prevent accidental touch to regulations VDE 0470 part 1 (EN 60529). It consists of a flat PVC housing and pure copper or stainless steel conductors. The minimum space required allows the system to be integrated in the crane or hoist track. Multipole systems with 3 - 6 conductors are available and several housings can be easily combined to get as many conductors as required. VKS can be used for indoor and roof-over (rain-protected) applications. The system is designed for hoists, stacker cranes, monorails, machine tools, testing lines and many other types of mobile equipment. The PVC housing holds 3 - 6 conductors for power supply and control functions. Standard lengths are 4 m, plus specific lengths as required.

Cat. 4b

MKL is a totally enclosed conductor system with 6 - 8 conductors, for indoor and outdoor use. The gray coloured housing can be supplied with different copper sections for ratings from 40 - 200 Amp. After installation of the PVC housing the flat copper bars, supplied in coils, are to be pulled into the housing, using factory-supplied tools. MKL requires a minimum of space, is easy to install and cannot corrode. Typical applications are overhead cranes, monorails, hoists, storage and retrieval systems, power tools, lighting systems and many others.
