What is DD CLC/TS 50206-3-Interface between pantograph and rolling stock for rail vehicles about?
DD CLC/TS 50206 is a technical specification that discusses rolling stock for railways applications. DD CLC/TS 50206-3 is the third part of a multi-part series that outlines mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical interfaces between one single-arm pantograph and the roof of mainline rail vehicles.
In contrast to EN 50206-1, it is assumed that the insulators are part of the pantograph scope of supply. The air supply of the pantograph to the vehicle roof is the responsibility of the car manufacturer.
Who is DD CLC/TS 50206-3-Interface between pantograph and rolling stock for rail vehicles for?
DD CLC/TS 50206-3 on the interface between pantograph and rolling stock for rail vehicles is useful for:
- Rolling stock manufacturers
- Pantograph manufacturers
- Maintenance and technical staff
- Test centres
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use DD CLC/TS 50206-3- Interface between pantograph and rolling stock for rail vehicles?
A pantograph is an apparatus mounted on the roof of the rolling stock to collect power through contact with an overhead line. Interface assists independent and often unrelated systems meet and acting on or communicating with each other.
DD CLC/TS 50206-3 guideline assists you with a coordinate system, mechanical interface, electrical interface, pneumatic interface, and overview of all interfaces for pantograph and rolling stock for rail vehicles.
DD CLC/TS 50206-3 also guides on possible locations for insulators, details for insulator mounting, details for the pneumatic interface, and details for electrical interfaces for pantograph and the roof of mainline rail vehicles
With obedience and compliance to DD CLC/TS 50206-3, you can understand and apply the mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical interfaces between one single-arm pantograph and the roof of mainline rail vehicles properly.
