Publication date:   Aug 4, 2002

Scope

This standard defines the general assembly characteristics which are to be applied to pantographs, to enable current collection from the overhead line system. It also defines the tests the pantographs have to perform, excluding insulators. This standard does not apply to pantograph dielectric tests, which are to be performed on the pantograph installed on the vehicle roof. This standard does not apply to pantographs used on main line vehicles: these pantographs are considered in EN 50206-1. This standard relates to conventional suspended overhead line systems and accessories. The systems (or part of them) which are rigidly suspended will require special consideration between the customer and the supplier
