Points Heating (NR/SP/ELP/40045) Cable
Our NR/SP/ELP/40045 cable is designed for rail industry power distribution in points heating systems and holds Network Rail approval. Powering the Electric Point Heating systems is essential for maintaining railway operations during cold weather and extreme low temperatures.
This new standard for points heating cables replaced RT/E/PS/40045.
