This part is called "Battery Panel".
Battery panel is a resistant to fire fiber that different kind of parts are located on it such as Fuses, Fuse Holders, Fuse Test Block and Shunt.
Its layout can vary based on buyer request and draing. World Part Supplier Co. is one of the manufacturers of this part.
We use electrically insulated anti fire fiber as a platform for Battery Panel. All fibers must pass Hi-Pot and Megger tests before getting used in production chain. WPS quality assurance system confirms the acceptance of fiber prior to usage.
All holders and blocks are pure copper (99.9%). All parts should go through qaulity control checks before getting used in production line.
Bolts, Nuts nd washers are made of brass alloy. Those parts also must approve good results for different tests such as tensile stress, torsion stress and rupture point test.
Our products are made based on the layout drawing from customers and buyers and present a specific part number for EMD and / or GE. As instance we have presented a Battery Panel of EMD locomotives herein.
