CCS railway applications: requirements before selection

Original publication: · Reviewed:

A railway application name is not a qualification. Identify load cases, electrical duty, connection details and the operator's acceptance requirements before selecting wire diameter or material condition.

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.
