Product environment

SPL pantograph is the ideal solution for manufacturers and operators of tramways and light rail vehicles, looking for an efficient and reliable current collecting device.

With its wide working range (600 – 3,880 mm above roof) and record flatness (400 mm above roof), Sécheron SPL pantograph achieves high performances with constrained weight and great stiffness of design.

Its unique panhead suspension system offers SPL pantograph an excellent dynamic behaviour, with great benefits to the contact reliability between the pantograph and overhead lines, as well as to the carbon strips life time. SPL are thoroughly tested and surpass standard requirements, making them fully compliant with EN 50126-2/IEC 60494-2 and EN/IEC 61373.

In commercial operation on different tramway networks throughout Europe, SPL pantograph has demonstrated its robustness and reliability in different operational and climatic conditions.

Sécheron can deliver the SPL pantograph on its own or together with other Sécheron electrical safety, measurement, and traction control components and solutions. Our DC circuit breaker type UR, completed with our BMS contactor range are typical products that will help you to design safe and reliable traction equipment.
