Railway applications - Fixed installations - Electric traction - Copper and copper alloy grooved contact wires

This European Standard specifies the characteristics of copper and copper alloy wires of cross sections of 80 mm², 100 mm², 107 mm², 120 mm² and 150 mm² for use on overhead contact lines. It establishes the product characteristics, the test methods, checking procedures to be used with the wires, together with the ordering and delivery condition.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2012-04-30. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
