Enclosed Multiple Conductor Systems
VAHLE Powerail enclosed conductor systems are found in different configurations and numbers of conductors. Our new Powerail system KBH, as well as our classics, KSL and MKL, form the group of "encapsulated" configurations. These are used mainly in the field of cranes. The PVC-enclosed Powerail conductor systems VKS, VKL, and VKS 10 are used in storage and sorting technology primarily due to their flat configuration.

All PVC-enclosed Powerail conductor systems are designed in accordance with accident and VDE regulations in the sense of electrical, mechanical, and fire standards and also, due to their worldwide use, most systems also carry UL, CSA, and SEV approval.
