Railway applications - Current collection systems - Technical criteria for the interaction between pantograph and overhead contact lines on electrified roads
Abstract
This document defines the general characteristics applicable to pantographs for ERS, to enable dynamic current collection of road vehicles from an overhead contact line system. It furthermore defines the electrical and mechanical interface between a pantograph and the infrastructure and between a pantograph and the vehicle. The document also specifies tests for the pantograph. It includes recommendations for a common safety concept that is related to the electric vehicle and power supply infrastructure and gives recommendations for the maintenance of the pantograph. This document is applicable to: — Two-pole pantographs on commercial vehicles during operation on electrified public roads and highways. This document is not applicable to: — trolley busses and their electric equipment. — vehicles in private applications on roads in restricted areas such as truck trolley applications in mines. — commercial freight vehicles or electric busses with static-only charging systems at e.g. loading/unloading facilities or bus stops.
