The Challenge: Harsh Environments and Electromagnetic Interference

  • Modern trains are a complex network of sensitive electronics. These systems must operate flawlessly amidst significant challenges:
  • Intense Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from power lines, traction motors, and communication systems.
  • Corrosive Environments, especially in coastal regions or areas where de-icing salts are used, which can degrade electronic components.
  • The need for rapid deployment and scalability in time-sensitive upgrade projects.

Any compromise on the enclosure that houses these critical systems can lead to data corruption, system failures, and compromised operational safety.


Our Solution: The CUR Series 19" Subrack

Engineered specifically for critical applications, the CUR Series Subrack is more than just an enclosure; it's a integrated solution for rail transit reliability. Its design philosophy centers on modularity, protection, and longevity.

1. Superior Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Shielding

The EMC shielding performance of the CUR subrack meets the stringent GJB C-Level standard. In practical terms, this means:

  • Protection from External Noise: It acts as a Faraday cage, effectively isolating internal electronics from external EMI, ensuring data integrity for train monitoring systems.
  • Reduction of Emissions: It minimizes electromagnetic radiation from internal devices, preventing them from interfering with other onboard systems.


This performance is crucial for the accurate operation of signaling, monitoring, and control equipment.


2. Exceptional Corrosion Resistance

Proven through a rigorous 72-hour salt spray test, the CUR subrack demonstrates outstanding resilience against corrosion. This performance ensures:

Long-Term Reliability in high-humidity and saline environments.

Reduced Maintenance Costs and extended service life, protecting your investment over the long haul.


3. Modular and Standardized Design

The modular subrack design allows for flexible configuration to meet specific project needs. This standardization enables:

Rapid Deployment: Simplifies installation and integration, accelerating project timelines.

Easy Scalability: Facilitates future upgrades and expansions with minimal downtime.


4. Commitment to Rapid Delivery

Understanding the time-sensitive nature of train retrofit programs, we have optimized our supply chain and production processes. We are committed to providing quick delivery of the CUR subrack, ensuring your project remains on schedule without compromising on quality.

System Implementation and Tangible Results

In a recent localization project, the CUR subrack was deployed as the core chassis for onboard power monitoring equipment. The results were immediate and significant:

  • Enhanced System Reliability: The stable operating environment provided by the subrack led to a marked increase in the reliability of the train operation and maintenance system.

  • Proactive Maintenance: Operators can now monitor system status in real-time and address potential faults before they escalate.

  • Future-Proof Foundation: The robustness and EMI performance of the solution ensure it will support future technological upgrades.

For system designers and project managers in the rail transit industry, the choice of a subrack is a foundational decision. The 19" CUR Series Subrack provides the rugged durability, electromagnetic integrity, and design flexibility required to build safer, more efficient, and more reliable trains.
