Open Conductor Bar Systems
The original VAHLE conductor bar is mounted onto insulators with spring loaded current collectors that track along the surface of the conductor bar. Our largest and most robust power solution, these systems excel in applications that require hi-speed, hi-amperage and voltage and operate in harsh environmental conditions. Typical applications include coking operations, steel mills and people movers.
VAHLE open conductor bar systems are a proven solution for a variety of heavy-duty applications including steel mills & foundries, loading bridges, container handling equipment and coking plants. VAHLE has continued to improve upon the original design by offering fiberglass conductor rails for extremely corrosive environments, aluminum systems for lower weight and greater conductivity and solid copper designs for demanding power requirements.
