Frequently Asked Questions - ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED PNEUMATIC (ECP) BRAKE CABLE 600V

What are the specific applications of Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cable?

Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cable is designed for installation of both under and between freight cars. These cables can safely operate under the temperature range of -45°C to 100°C. ECPBrake Cables are widely used for rapid transit products in demanding environments.

What are the superior technical features of Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cables?

Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cables are designed with tinned copper braided shield for acquiring significant EMI and RFI reduction. These cables are suited for higher temperature as well as sub zero conditions. The symmetrical cable construction allows magnetic field cancellation, lower current flow for ground conductors, and reduced common mode noise. The cable is overall shielded with Tinned Copper Braid with Aluminum Lamination.

How is Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cable constructed?

Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake cable is constructed with conductors made out of 8 AWG soft stranded tinned copper. Insulation is achieved by using 125°C rated Crosslinked polyolefin (XLPO). It allows flexible stripping and routing through high temperature areas. The shielding is provided with overall tinned copper braided shield designed to reduce EMI and RFI. The cables have a jacket with heavy duty neoprene which offers excellent low temperature performance.

What sizes of cables are available in Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cable Range?

Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cablesare available in AWG 8 size ranges with 37/24 conductor stranding. Specifics can be found at http://www.crownindustrial.com/wire-and-cable/rapid-transit/ecp-ra.html.

What are the specifications of the Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cables 600V?

The specifications of the Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cables are as follows:

Gauge - 8

Number of Conductor - 2

Conductor Stranding - 7/24

NOM. Diameter of Conductor - 0.04

O.D. Inches - 0.725

New Weight lb/1000FT -334 lbs

Can I use the Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cables 600V at extreme temperature conditions?

Yes.  Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake 600V Cables have been designed to survive in extreme temperatures. The temperature rating of the cables have been specified in the range between -45°C to 100°C.

What is the basic principle behind the Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brakes?

Electronically Controlled Pneumatic braking enhances the performance of the transit products by using an electronic signal for communication while maintaining the pneumatic system to supply the braking energy.

What are the national and international standards to which Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cableconform?

Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) Brake Cablesconforms to all major national and international technical standards of the industry such as:

• AAR S-4210
• EPA 40 CFR, Part 261
• OSHA Acceptable
• IEEE 1202 (70,000 BTU/hr) Flame Test
• IEEE 383 (70,000 BTU/hr) Flame Test
