2 Made for rails The Railway series from WISKA is an industryspecific extension of the proven SPRINT cable gland system, which meets the specific demands of the rail industry in all respects. Since June 2013, products and materials that are used in rail transport have to be tested in accordance with the unified European fire safety standard EN After several years of research and development, WISKA has launched an innovative product line that meets with all required quality and safety standards and achieves Hazard Level 3. WISKA is also one of the first European manufacturers to have successfully tested a complete gland series in brass, polyamide and stainless steel in accordance with EN The WISKA Railway cable glands are thus the ideal combination of the highest product quality and multiple modularity that still meet all standards. They can be used by manufacturers, suppliers, and rail technology companies in all types of vehicles whether new or refurbished. EN EN

The most innovative use of materials Within the extensive materials testing, WISKA has tested the flammability of industrial and raw materials in accordance with EN 45545-2.

4 The most innovative use of materials Within the extensive materials testing, WISKA has tested the flammability of industrial and raw materials in accordance with EN WISKA has tested different materials in order to achieve an optimal composition for the Railway Series. For the requirement sets R22 (indoor use) and R23 (outdoor use), the parameters of the combustible materials (plastic, sealing material) had to be checked: Requirement sets Parameters Unit Requirement HL1 HL2 HL3 Oxygen index Vol.-% minimum R22 R23 Smoke density D S max. maximum Toxicity CIT NLP maximum 1,2 0,9 0,75 Oxygen index Vol.-% minimum Smoke density D S max. maximum Toxicity CIT NLP maximum --- 1,8 1,5 Hazard Level 3 Hazard Level 3 4

When considering the flammability of non-metallic materials, the WISKA Railway cable glands have achieved the following results: Cable gland series Cable gland material R22 R23 EMSKV RW Brass HL3 HL3

6 Reliable integrity The integrity testing in accordance with EN entails preserving the separation of two adjacent regions in the rail vehicle to prevent the transmission of flames and smoke. For the WISKA Railway series, this means that no fire and smoke should penetrate the glands over a certain period of time. Depending on the source of fire, the area to be protected and the operating class of the rail vehicle are distinguished between an integrity for 15 minutes (E15) and 30 minutes (E30) WISKA has tested various cable glands with a wide variety of cables in burn-through tests with temperatures of up to 900 C from inside and outside, as well as in the vertical and horizontal positions. Test plate Of the 88 gland/cable combinations tested, all achieved integrity E15 and 85 achieved integrity E30. This means that the WISKA Railway cable glands can provide a suitable gland with integrity E30 and thus fulfil the highest requirements of standard EN Fulfils E30 20 Test plate Cable gland Cable Position SIENOPYR (180) (N) HXSGAF HXOE 3600 V 185 M 180 C (1) EMSKV 50 RW SIENOPYR (120) (N) HXSGAF HXOE 150 3,6/6 kv (9) SIENOPYR (180) (N) HXSGAF HXOE 3600 V 185 M 180 C (2) EMSKV 40 RW RADOX 3 GKW/S 7G 1,5 mm² (5) SIENOPYR (120) (N) HXSGAF HXOE 150 3,6/6 kv (10) RHEYHALON NSHXAFOE EN 1,8/3 kv 1800 V 95 (3) EMSKV 32 RW RADOX GKW-LW/S 36x1,5 mm² (11) RADOX GKW-LW/S 36x1,5 mm² (4) RHEYHALON NSHXAFOE EN 1,8/3 kv 1800 V 95 (6) EMSKV 25 RW RHEYHALON HXSLOE-OZ 600 V 3x6 M (7) RADOX 3 GKW/S 4G 4 mm² (8) RHEYHALON HXSLOE-OZ 600 V 3x6 M (13) EMSKV 20 RW RADOX 3 GKW/S 7G 1,5 mm² (17) RADOX 3 GKW/S 4G 4 mm² (21) BETATRANS GKW C-FLEX R 600/1000 V 2x0,75 mm² (14) EMSKV 16 RW RADOX GKW-LW/S EMC 6x0,75 mm² (20) RHEYHALON HXAF 0,6/1 kv 600 V 16F (22) BETATRANS GKW C-FLEX R 600/1000 V 2x0,75 mm² (16) EMSKV 12 RW RADOX GKW-LW/S EMC 6x0,75 mm² (18) RHEYHALON HXAF 0,6/1 kv 600 V 16F (19) EMSKV 16 EMV-Z RW RADOX GKW-LW/S EMC 6x0,75 mm² (12) EMSKV 12 EMV-Z RW RADOX GKW-LW/S EMC 6x0,75 mm² (15) 6
