Description / Abstract:
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.
