Power Transfer for Rail

In 1968, Mersen have invented this system which offers 3 mains functions.

Mersen offers a large range of CCD shoes for electrical current collection in urban networks. The diversity of products allows to find the most suitable solutions for each metro system. The use of carbon allows to reduce friction, and therefore protects the power rail and improves its lifetime.

Mersen is providing compact, safe and reliable off-load disconnectors and inverters. These devices offer high performances and robustness for heavy duty requirements with very limited maintenance and whole life of the train.

On-board fuse boxes are installed on Metro, trains, catenary less tramway and electric buses. They are a mandatory critical components of protection.

Mersen proposes a range of On-board resistance. Those resistances have the function to artificially increase the resistance of the connection point in order to “push” the current through the ERCU.

Mersen offers a large range of pantograph contact strips for electrical current collection for AC and DC networks.

Mersen offers a reliable and effective solution for a smooth contact between the wheels and the rail. It allows transit and freight operators all over the world to reduce the consumption of their fleet while avoiding to release pollutants into the environment.

On-board connection boxes are installed on Metro. They are a key components of connection.

With over forty years of experience in designing products for traction, Mersen have developed and deliver the adapted setting tools adapted for your overhaul maintenance level to ensure and guarantee the quality for your products during the life time of the train.

The setting tool is mandatory to maintain your CCD when comes the overhaul time.
