Silicone Insulating Sleeves for Railway Overhead Lines

Manufactured by Centroid Polymer Technologies in Kerala, India

Where overhead lines cross railways, roads and footbridges, or run near structures, insulating the conductor reduces flashover risk and protects people working nearby.

Centroid's silicone insulating sleeves fit catenaries, droppers and crossing spans, and the double-lock design holds firm under vibration and wind.

The sleeves install in the field on bare conductors and can be fitted as temporary or permanent protection during maintenance.

What Railways & Metro buyers need

  • Secure retention under vibration and wind load
  • Phase-to-ground isolation at crossings and structures
  • Field installation during short possession windows
  • Long-term outdoor and UV durability
  • Temporary or permanent protection options

Standards commonly specified

  • EN45545-2 HL3
  • NFPA 130
  • RDSO approvals (on request)

Compliance varies by product and compound. Ask us for the certificates and test reports for your part.
