EN 50405:2006

Railway applications - Current collection systems - Pantographs, testing methods for carbon contact strips

This European Standard gives rules for testing methods for carbon contact strips. The purpose of this standard is to demonstrate that the carbon strip construction is fit for purpose. Not all tests may be relevant to some designs.

Bahnanwendungen - Stromabnahmesysteme - Stromabnehmer für Oberleitungsfahrzeuge, Prüfverfahren für Kohleschleifstücke

Applications ferroviaires - Systèmes de captage de courant - Méthodes d'essais des bandes de frottement en carbone des pantographes

La présente Norme Européenne donne les règles à suivre pour les méthodes d'essai pour les bandes de frottement en carbone. Le but de cette norme est de démontrer que l'emploi de bandes de frottement en carbone est adapté à l'usage. Des essais peuvent ne pas être applicables à certains appareils.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2006-03-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
