The FYFH-1.8A/BT shuttle-type section insulator (Type B) is designed and manufactured per TB/T 3036-2016 for in-phase electrical sectioning of 25kV AC 50Hz single-phase electrified railway overhead contact systems. The Type B shuttle profile offers a particularly smooth pantograph transition and enhanced arc-resistance performance.
A high-strength aluminum alloy body carries the contact wire tensile load; arc-resistant insulating elements (silicone rubber or porcelain) separate the two electrical sections. The unit is rated for 27.5kV systems, line speeds up to 160 km/h (sub-model dependent), -40°C to +70°C operating temperature and altitudes up to 4,000 m.
The shuttle geometry keeps the pantograph carbon strip in controlled contact through the insulating zone, limiting contact force peaks and reducing wear on both strip and insulator runners. This makes the Type B a strong choice for busy mainline sectioning points.
Installed as an in-line series suspension in the contact wire with mechanical end connections. Henan Chuangwei Railway Equipment provides datasheets, type test reports and project engineering support for the FYFH series.
Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes the Type B shuttle design?
The Type B shuttle profile is optimized for an especially smooth pantograph transition and superior arc resistance, reducing contact wear at heavily used sectioning points.
What is the speed rating?
Up to 160 km/h depending on the sub-model. For 200 km/h applications, consider the FYFH-1.6AT-S shuttle-type (Type A).
Is customization available?
Yes. We support project-specific configurations — contact info@chuangwit.com with your line parameters.
