The LBGLJ aluminum conductor with aluminum-clad steel core for electrified railways is a key current-conducting component of the electrified railway overhead contact system; its performance directly affects pantograph current collection quality and power supply reliability. Terms and definitions: the contact wire runs above the rails, remains in contact with the pantograph strip and conducts current, with left-right symmetric suspension grooves in the upper cross-section. This conductor uses a high-strength steel core for bearing capacity while the outer aluminum-clad steel strands provide conductivity, suited to large-span suspensions of 25kV single-phase AC electrified railway OCS.

Application: conductor for overhead contact systems of electrified railways, suitable for conventional, speed-raised and high-speed railway contact suspensions, and can be combined with messenger wires, droppers and various clamps into a complete contact suspension.

Available models: LBGLJ-50/8, 70/10, 95/15, 95/20, 120/20, 120/35, 150/8, 150/20, 185/10, 185/25, 185/30, 210/25, 240/30, 240/40, 300/40, selectable by line tension and current collection requirements.

Standard: TB/T 3111.2-2026, Stranded conductors for overhead contact system of electrification railway — Part 2: Aluminum conductor with aluminum-clad steel core; the corresponding GB type is JL/LB1A (GB/T 1179-2017).
