Third Rail System Components Market, by Type Current Collectors The Third Rail System Components market for Current Collectors segment Revenue will be USD 96.63 Million by 2027. Electric current collectors are used by trolleybuses, trams, electric locomotives or EMUs to carry electrical power from overhead lines or electrical third rails to the electrical equipment of the vehicles. Those for overhead wires are roof-mounted devices; those for third rails are mounted on the bogies. Current collectors are also electric bridging components that collect electrical current generated at the electrodes of electrochemical devices, such as lithium-class battery cells, and connect with external circuits. Typically, they have one or more spring-loaded arms that press a collector or contact shoe against the rail or overhead wire. As the vehicle moves, the contact shoe slides along the wire or rail to draw the electricity needed to run the vehicle's motor. Collector Shoe The collector is a sliding contact type which confines the wear to the easily replaceable contact shoe. The contact shoes are supported by insulated shoe holders on spring loaded collector arms designed to articulate and swivel. Splice Joints is often a small copper or nickel silver plate that slips onto both rails to provide the functions of maintaining alignment and electrical continuity. Protection Board Brackets Protection boards are placed above the steel contact rail to protect personnel from making direct contact with this rail. These boards are typically made of fiberglass or timber. Protection board brackets are mounted on either timber ties or concrete ties/base and are used to support the protection board at a distance above the steel contact rail. Insulator Supports Insulators are used in electrical equipment to support and separate electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves. An insulating material used in bulk to wrap electrical cables or other equipment is called insulation. The term insulator is also used more specifically to refer to insulating supports used to attach electric power distribution or transmission lines to utility poles and transmission towers. They support the weight of the suspended wires without allowing the current to flow through the tower to ground. Anchors Rail anchors made in one-piece construction from spring steel are designed to fasten the steel rail tight on the base of the rail to prevent the rail from longitudinal movements, i.e. the “ creeping” of the rail, caused by changing temperature, grades, traffic patterns, and braking action of trains. Rail anchors are applied to the rail base directly and lodge up against the tie. Rail anchors provide a large bearing surface against rail base and railroad tie, preventing cutting and wear, and eventually to prolong the working life of the railroad ties. Anchors are made for a specific rail weight and base width, which can be classified into two types: the Drive-on rail anchors and Spring type rail anchor.

Introduction of Third Rail System Components
A third rail, also known as a live rail, electric rail or conductor rail, is a method of providing electric power to a railway locomotive or train, through a semi-continuous rigid conductor placed alongside or between the rails of a railway track. It is used typically in a mass transit or rapid transit system, which has alignments in its own corridors, fully or almost fully segregated from the outside environment. Third rail systems are always supplied from direct current electricity. A third rail is a method of providing electric power to a railway train, through a continuous rigid conductor placed alongside or between the rails of a railway track. It is used typically in a mass transit or rapid transit system, which has alignments in its own corridors, fully or almost fully segregated from the outside environment. In most cases, third rail systems supply direct current electricity. Third rail systems are a means of providing electric traction power to railway trains, and they use an additional rail for the purpose. On most systems, the conductor rail is placed on the sleeper ends outside the running rails, but in some cases a central conductor rail is used. The conductor rail is supported on ceramic insulators or insulated brackets, typically at intervals of 10 feet or so. There is considerable diversity about the contact position between the train and the rail; some of the earliest systems used top contact, but developments used side or bottom contact, which enabled the conductor rail to be covered, protecting track workers from accidental contact and protecting the conductor rail from snow and leaf fall. The conductor rail is supported on ceramic pot insulators, cycloaliphatic epoxy insulators or insulated brackets, typically at intervals of around 3-6 meters. In recent years the outdated ceramic insulators are more and more replaced by epoxy third rail insulators.
