TE Connectivity to highlight new surge arrestor at IREE 2019 tradeshow

DARMSTADT, Germany – Oct. 21, 2019 – TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, will feature the new TE RSTI 68 surge arrester, a product that can help solve for some of the most common issues arising during the ongoing modernisation of India’s railway system, at IREE 2019.

IREE 2019, Asia's largest event for the rail transportation sector, runs Oct. 22-24, 2019, at the Aerocity exhibition venue in New Delhi, India (TE is located in Hall 5, Stand 49).

“As a main feature at our IREE stand, TE will show for the first time in India its new RSTI 68 surge arrester,” said Subramanian Palanivelan, head of TE’s Industrial business unit in India. “With an ever-growing number of double decker trains, high products on rooftops can create challenges with tunnels and bridges. But it’s not just height; roof space on trains in general comes at a premium as more components need to be placed on rooftops, several of them requiring free space around them as well. Additionally, cleaner rooftops improve aerodynamics, especially for high-speed trains.”

The RSTI 68 surge arrester can be placed directly on the transformer but also at the rear side of the high voltage (HV) cable assembly that connects to the transformer. The product fits perfectly in a sealed HV system, giving maximum design freedom in its vicinity. For trains using the new Lopro circuit breaker, this secondary surge arrester can even be placed directly on the circuit breaker, creating even more configuration freedom in the HV system.

Another highlight of TE´s stand will be the demonstration of TE’s next generation roofline systems for all operation environments, combining reliable operation with low-profile and lightweight design. Other topics include:

• Driving speed in rail networks. TE offers the full scope of Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat7 data cables spanning 120 Ohm up to 10 Gb/s for use on board and trackside applications with corresponding M12 and M12 X Code connector series for data and sensor networks, train door control and HVAC systems.
• Reducing weight and space while increasing capacity. The DEUTSCH FXP Series connector can be used for all static and dynamic power applications on rolling stock − in a small lightweight design and with higher electrical capacity.
• Modularity customizing to your sensor needs. TE’s Modular Sensor Design Program will be on display. The program is suitable for any railway vehicle (high speed train, locomotive, EMU/DMU, metro, tramway and trolleybus) and application (propulsion, brake control and signaling).

“As this is our first time to participate in IREE, we look forward to sharing how TE can help companies be more innovative and productive,” said Palanivelan. “It is great to be a part of the industry during the largest ever modernisation and expansion of Indian railways.”
