Moisture-Proof Wiring Tips for ZCEBOX Plastic Distribution Box Junction Boxes in Metro Tunnel Sections
In metro tunnel scenarios (tunnel sections, equipment corridors, evacuation passages), junction boxes need to withstand high humidity (relative humidity ≥95%), condensed water erosion, high-frequency vibration from train operation and dust accumulation, and are prone to problems such as reduced insulation, loose wiring and seal failure. ZCEBOX shares 2 targeted protection tips that comply with metro industry standards (GB 50157, IEC 61580):
1.Dual Reinforcement Design for Moisture and Water Resistance
Model Adaptation: Prioritize ZCEBOX metro-specific moisture-proof models (protection grade IP68, supporting 24-hour immersion in 1m deep water without leakage), with box body made of moisture-resistant and flame-retardant ABS + glass fiber material (flame retardant grade UL94 V-0, no halogen emission), temperature resistance range -25℃~85℃, adapting to extreme temperature and humidity in tunnels;
Sealing Protection: Adopt "labyrinth seal + fluororubber double sealing ring" structure for box joints; install metro-specific waterproof cable glands (IP68 grade, suitable for 1.5-6mm² cables) at wiring holes; apply moisture-resistant sealant on threads after tightening; design diversion grooves + drainage holes (with silicone waterproof plugs, sealed normally, quick drainage when water accumulates) at the bottom of the box to avoid condensed water accumulation;
Insulation Upgrade: Use metro-specific moisture-resistant and flame-retardant cables (insulation layer with XLPE + polyolefin double-layer structure, moisture resistance grade ≥4); power wires (fan, lighting power supply) have a diameter ≥2.5mm²; signal wires (smoke detectors, temperature sensors) adopt double-shielded moisture-resistant cables, with shielding layer grounding resistance ≤1Ω to prevent signal attenuation caused by moisture.
2.Vibration Resistance, Dust Prevention + Compliance Optimization
Vibration-Resistant Fixation: Fix the box through ZCEBOX metro-specific vibration-proof mounting bases (with built-in natural rubber buffer pads, thickness 12mm, buffer frequency 10-500Hz), reserve a 6mm buffer gap with the tunnel wall to absorb train operation vibration; tighten terminals to 1.5-2.0N·m torque and install dual locking of anti-loose washers + cotter pins; fix wires with metro-specific vibration-proof cable ties (tensile strength ≥180N) every 30cm, with bending radius ≥12 times the wire diameter;
Dust Prevention and Maintenance: The box adopts a fully sealed structure, with a hidden purge port (adapting to φ6mm air pipe) reserved; purge internal dust with dry compressed air (pressure ≤0.3MPa) every quarter; select corrosion-resistant nickel-plated terminals (contact resistance ≤6mΩ) to resist corrosive gas erosion in tunnels;
Compliance Enhancement: The box passes smoke and toxicity level testing (complying with GB/T 18244) with no toxic gas emission; physically separate strong electricity (380V power supply) and weak electricity (12V signals) with metal partition plates (spacing ≥8cm), meeting metro EMC requirements (EN 50121-3-2) to avoid interfering with train control systems.
Adapting to the high-humidity and vibration environment of metro tunnels, balancing moisture resistance, vibration resistance and compliance, ensuring metro operation safety and stable equipment performance.
