“Classification and application scenarios of conductor systems”

11 Feb.,2025

 

As mobile devices move, they need to constantly change positions. At each different position, the mobile device must have access to power at any time, otherwise it will not be able to continue moving. At this time, the conductor systems came into being. Several conductors are laid in parallel along the running track of the mobile device and connected to the power supply. A current collector that can draw power from conductors is installed on mobile equipment. In this way, when the equipment moves, the current collector runs synchronously with the equipment, obtains power from the conductor at any time, and provides it to the equipment so that the equipment can continue to move. The device composed of these conductors and current collectors is called the conductor system.As mobile devices move, they need to constantly change positions.

Nowadays, the application scenarios of conductor systems are very broad, such as cranes, electric hoists, stackers, sand mixers, coking trucks, automation equipment, automated monitoring, amusement facilities, etc.

Insulated conductor system - generally four-pole or five-pole, the current ranges from 200A-2500A, the conductor is aluminum (copper), easy to install and maintain, and is currently the most commonly used conductor system.

Enclosed conductor system - easy to install, fast, simple, and compact structure, safe and reliable, the conductor is made of copper, and is often used in automation equipment and smaller power cranes. From the perspective of economic applicability, when the current is less than 100A, it is suitable to use the Enclosed conductor system, and Demaelectric’s Enclosed conductor system can achieve a maximum of 210A.

Open copperhead conductor system - used for high current equipment, the current can reach several thousand amps, suitable for harsh and high-temperature environments, the conductor is made of copper. For more information about conductor systems, please contact Dema Electric Co., Ltd.
