CCS railway track connections: define electrical and joint requirements

Original publication: · Reviewed:

A track connection must match the signaling or bonding function specified by the railway engineer. Confirm the joint system, electrical limits, mechanical movement and inspection requirements for that exact connection.

Review the application

An example use of CCS does not establish approval for every rail system, bonding function or connection. Specify the application and obtain the required project qualification.

Information to provide

Confirm the proposed construction

Align the conductor and connection drawing with the operator specification.

Review trial material and the tests required for the stated mechanical and electrical duty.

Confirm the project acceptance process before moving from sample evaluation to supply.
