PowerFil

Lamifil yet again reinforces its position at the forefront of innovation with the release of PowerFil. This new, unique alloy offers significantly superior properties compared to conventional CuMg. With 23% more conductivity compared to CuMg 0,5, PowerFil is the top alternative for a Cd-free world.

PowerFil alloy
  • Minimised energy loss. PowerFil allows operators to save up to 12,000 euros per km during the lifetime of a messenger wire.
  • Reduced CO2 and higher efficiency. This ‘green’ alloy offers approximately 23% better resistance than standard CuMg 0,5 alloys.
  • Increased rail capacity. PowerFil offers less resistance and heat losses, allowing more trains to run on the same track.
  • Less use of copper. PowerFil creates opportunities for leaner cable designs with smaller sections offering the same characteristics, allowing operators to save copper weight and costs.
