Imanes AWS Serie 2

Interlocking to GE Magnet AWS units enables direct drive, without the need for relays. In addition, YE and YS magnets can be driven without relays.

The magnetic field shape has been designed to meet requirements and remove the risk of return field detection.

The Series 2 AWS Magnets are installed using Pandrol Rapid Fit Frames (PA05/04606), including all single, double and triple bay frames. Modular plug coupling is used and the magnets’ flat baseplate design means that no ballast needs to be removed.

Lifting frames (062/006895) are available to facilitate safe manual handling. The magnets are 20-30kg lighter than legacy magnets.

Suppressor, Electro and Permanent are variants available in either standard or extra strength.

The Series 2 AWS Magnets are fully compliant to the latest Network Rail requirements (GE/RT8075). This includes flux density compliance: at input voltage from 88V (132Vac for 110Vac units); at input voltage from 18V (30Vdc for 24Vdc units); across the ambient temperature range, -20°C to 40°C.

The Series 2 AWS Magnets’ reliability has been comprehensively tested, including: shock and vibration EN50125-3; IP68 rated (water and dust ingress protection); climatic (DEF-STAN 00-35 Part 4). Mean time between failure (MTBF) values are in excess of 114 years for the 24Vdc units and in excess of 76 years for the 110Vac units.
