7、his leaflet sets out the general characteristics of the pantographs of the various railways, which applyto lines carrying or suitable for carrying international traffic up to speeds of 200 km/h. For higherspeeds, agreements should be reached by the railways concerned.However, this leaflet also cover
8、s motive power units that may be worked on 25 kV high-speed newlines.608OR21 - General - Field of application1.1 - The essential regulations to be observed in the construction of tractive units to enable them torun on international services are laid down in UIC Leaflet 611 (see Bibliography - page 2
9、0).Nevertheless, the question of current collection requires special attention in view of the diversity of thecontact lines on each railway or each traction system.1.2 - This leaflet sets out the general characteristics of the pantographs of the various railways, whichapply to lines carrying or suit
10、able for carrying international traffic up to speeds of 200 km/h. For higherspeeds, agreements should be reached by the railways concerned.1.3 - However, this leaflet also covers motive power units that may be worked on 25 kV high-speednew lines (see point 5.1.4 - page 7).608OR32 - General designThe
11、 general design of pantographs (articulation, bow suspension, operating mechanism, etc.) mustbe in line with the recommendations of ERRI Specialists Committees (A 69: Wear of contact stripsand contact wires when using contact strips made of metal or composite materials and A 129: Currentcollection a
12、t high speed).608OR4O3 - Compliance of lowered pantographs with the gaugeIn the vertical position, the lowered pantograph must comply with the gauge defined in UICLeaflet 505-1 (see Bibliography - page 20). As railways operating a more restrictive gauge are unableto comply with all regulations in th
13、is leaflet, an agreement between them is essential for internationalservices.608OR5O4 - Vertical range of movement of pantographsAny actual increase in the vertical range of movement of the pantograph, taking into account verticaloscillations, depression of the suspension due to overloads, wear of t
14、he tyres, etc., must be specifiedwith a view to guaranteeing current collection with minimum and maximum contact wire heights asshown in Appendix A - page 13.For running on the NS system, the vertical range of the pantograph must, however, be limited to5 860 mm above rail level.608OR6O5 - Bow5.1 - B
15、ow profileFor bow widths1, Appendix A - page 13 specifies:- profiles normally used by each railway, and- profiles which can be accepted by these railways.The following overall profiles, with contact strips in new condition, shall be accepted by the variousrailways under the conditions shown and subj
16、ect to the coefficient of roll flexibility of the vehicle, asdefined in UIC Leaflet 505-5 (see Bibliography - page 20), being g163 0,225.NB : coefficient of roll flexibility: when a vehicle, empty or loaded, is placed stationary on a track withcant D, where the running surface of the rail makes an a
17、ngle g100 with the horizontal, its bodyinclines on the springs and makes an angle g104 with the perpendicular to the running surface ofthe rail. The ratio g104/g100, designated by S, is known as the coefficient of roll flexibility and iscalculated, or measured, after eliminating the influence of any
18、 dissymmetry and that of thefriction of springs and shock absorbers.5.1.1 - 1 450 mm bowThe profile defined in Appendix B - page 16 is acceptable:- on the SBB network with horns of insulating material,- on the FS network with metal horns only2,- on the entire SNCF 25 kV with horns of insulating mate
19、rial,- on the entire CFL 25 kV network with horns of insulating material.5.1.2 - 1 600 mm bowThe profile defined in Appendix C - page 17 is acceptable:- on the british network with horns of insulating material and a maximum design length of 150 mm,- on the entire SNCF 25 kV network with horns of ins
20、ulating material with a design length of265 mm,- on most of the SNCF 1,5 kV network with or without horns of insulating material.1. Dimension of the bow perpendicular to the centre line of the track.2. For the multi-current former-TEE sets of the SBB, insulating horns are acceptable, as an exception
21、, on theChiasso-Milan and Milan-Domodossola lines.608OR75.1.3 - 1 950 mm bowThe profiles defined in points D.1 - page 18 and D.2 - page 19 are accepted by the following railways:CFL (3 kV-)D + SRDBDSBMVNSBB (profile only as per point D.2)PKPSNCBSNCF (1,5 kV-)VRHowever, with regard to the DB, the typ
22、e 2 envelope in point D.2 is only acceptable in exceptionalcases. Its use should however be covered by bilateral agreements.To take account of the provisions of UIC Leaflet 505-1, bows should be fitted with isolating horns(design length: 200 mm(1) when they remain energised in the lowered position.5
23、.1.4 - The motive power units that are liable to operate on future 25 kV high-speed lines must befitted with a 1 450 mm or 1 600 mm bow.5.2 - Maximum travel of the bowBows with contact strips with independent suspensions must conform with an overall bow profile,which they would attain with a static
24、contact force of 70 N applied at the middle of the bow.The elastic movement of contact strips (value fws of UIC Leaflet 606-1, Appendix 5) must not exceed60 mm(2), even when an eccentric force is applied, over the minimum useful length of the contact strip,as defined in Appendix A - page 13.1. The 2
25、50 mm dimension is accepted, as an exception, for the multi-current former-TEE sets of the SBB.150 mm may be accepted over the whole network in Great Britain.2. General application of this value is not permissible on the DB network; if necessary, bilateral agreementswill be required.608OR86 - Static
26、 contact forceNB : mean value of the static forces for upward and downward movement.6.1 - Adjustment rangeThe following static force ranges are recommended:O 6.2 - Minimum valuesThese must not fall below the lower limit of each range indicated in point 6.1.60 to 80 N for 15 and 25 kV80 to 120 N for
27、3 kV80 to 90 N for 1,5 kV85 to 140 N for 1,5 kV for pantographs with contact strips of metallised carbon608OR9O7 - Aerodynamic forceNB : the aerodynamic force is the mean vertical force measured at the bow, when the latter is nottouching the contact wire. Its value is equivalent to the static contac
28、t force plus the forceresulting from the airstream at the corresponding speed. Wind influence is not included.The pantographs should be designed and their position on the roof defined so that the values of theaerodynamic forces do not exceed the limiting values given in Appendix A - page 13, irrespe
29、ctive ofthe direction of running.608OR10O8 - Transverse flexibilityUnder a lateral force of 300 N (see UIC Leaflet 505-1) exerted on the bow, when raised to 6 500 mmabove the rail, the movement of the bow should not exceed 30 mm(1).1. If this dimension is, as an exception, exceeded, bilateral agreem
30、ents should be reached.608OR119 - Nature of the contact stripsIt is recommended that contact strips of similar type to those normally used by the railways, and shownin Appendix A - page 13, be employed.The wear limit of the contact strips should be fixed by agreement between the railways concerned.W
31、ith direct current, particularly 1,5 kV, the number and the nature of the contact strips are to bedefined in relation to the intensity of current to be collected.608OR12O10 - Control mechanismNB : some railways make use of an arrangement, which in the event of the pantograph becomingdefective (exces
32、sive wear of the friction pieces, bow fracture, etc.), causes it to be loweredautomatically.The mechanism and its supply device should be designed to permit smooth raising and very rapidlowering operations, both at standstill and at maximum speed (disengagement of the contact wire andachievement of
33、minimum electrical clearance in no more than 3 seconds).In addition, the force required for maintaining the pantograph in the lowered position should besufficiently high to prevent the pantograph from rising on its own accord under the action of thedynamic and aerodynamic forces, even at high speeds
34、.608OR13AppendicesAppendix A - Composition of the contact stripsNB : for the exact composition of the contact strips and their form, the railways concerned should beconsulted.A.1 - Nature of the contact strips normally used or accepted by various railwaysA.2 - Copper-steel strips should be greasedTh
