Long Stator Winding Cable for the MAGLEV Propulsion of the Transrapid Shanghai Project

摘要

The Long Stator Winding (LSW) propulsion of the high speed magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) TRANSRAPID Shanghai project represents the most innovative technology application for a special MV rubber power cable with formerly unequalled mechanical and electrical requirements. For the first time, we are able to provide details about this special MV rubber power cable solution, using high quality rubber compounds for conductor insulation and semi-conducting outer sheath with gliding coating for the long stator winding of the Transrapid Shanghai propulsion, and to report how the high demands and specifications of the whole system were fulfilled.
