Full Description

Scope

This standard provides minimum acceptable performance requirements for overhead current collectors used for light rail vehicles, heavy rail vehicles and trolley bus vehicles. Specific areas to be addressed include oscillation of collectors, arcing and electrical transients, all weather operation, the wire/collector interface, and dewirement and entanglement hazards.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to develop performance requirements for overhead current collectors on transit vehicles to control hazards, improve performance and reliability, and reduce life cycle cost.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Active.The general characteristics of pantographs that enable current collection from anoverhead contact system on light rail and heavy rail transit systems are described. Definitionspertinent to pantographs, including general definitions, specific pantograph terminology,pantograph components, pantograph dimensions, and operating characteristics are contained inthe standard.The operating requirements that need to be defined by the purchaser of pantographs are stated.In addition, standard dimensions for the collector head and contact strip, various pantographmechanical and operational requirements, environmental conditions, and maintainability anddocumentation requirements are specified. Various testing methodologies and requirements arealso included.
