Norwegian term
bæretråd
Norwegian to English
Tech/Engineering
Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Railway/technical
Occurs in a marketing translation of a Norwegian supplier to the railway industry in the following sentence, "*** har høy kompetanse innen optimalisert bæretrådopphenging". I am thinking this is some kind of suspension but can't put my finger on it.
Proposed translations
(English)
2 +1 | catenary wire | Per Bergvall |
3 | suspension droppers | Eirik Birkeland |
Proposed translations

Selected
catenary wire
From the supplied references, it looks to me like the suspension droppers run from the catenary wire to the contact wire - so bæretråd would be the catenary wire. But please note my confidence level here....
