1.3 Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
1.3.1
trolley bus
rubber tyred vehicle, connected to a direct current overhead contact line, driven by one or more
electrical motors. The conductors of the overhead contact line are either both insulated or one
insulated and one earthed
1.3.2
current collection system
the whole of the components, generally mounted on the vehicle roof, having the task of taking the
current from the overhead lines to supply the equipment of the vehicle, both in standing and in running
conditions
1.3.3
mass
conductive part of an electrical component which is accessible and which is not energized in normal
conditions, but may become energized in fault conditions; the equipment defined in 2.6.1 as normal
bus vehicle components are not covered in this definition. The conductive parts of the chassis and of
the bodywork are defined as the vehicle mass

conductive part comprised between two insulating parts of a double insulated equipment (protection,
enclosure, etc.), which shall be in any case not accessible to the public
1.3.5
main insulation
insulation between the electric parts which are subject to be energized and the intermediate mass
NOTE In EN 50124-1 this insulation is named “basic insulation” and is defined as the insulation applied to live parts to provide
basic protection against electric shock.

supplementary insulation
insulation between the intermediate mass and the vehicle mass

insulation comprising both main (basic) insulation and supplementary insulation

voltage value with which the system or one part of the same is nominated and which the general
characteristics are referred to
1.3.9
rated voltage U
Ne
voltage which, together with rated current, defines the use of the equipment and which the applicable
tests and the use categories are referred to
1.3.10
rated insulation voltage U
Nm
value the dielectric test voltages and the creepage distances are referred to. In no cases this value
can be lower than U . When no value is defined by the purchaser for U , the maximum operating
Ne Nm
voltage U , given by EN 50163 shall be assumed
max1

a
r.m.s. a.c. voltage which does not cause an insulation fault according to specified test conditions

highest non-permanent voltage U
max2
maximum value of the voltage likely to be present for maximum 5 min

maximum current
maximum current value which the current collection system is able to carry
1.3.14
maximum speed
maximum speed the vehicle can reach, to be taken into account for the connection system to
guarantee a proper operation of the same
1.3.15
static contact force

value of force F (see Figure B.7) applied by the slipper on the contact line, as measured with standing
vehicle. This value is referred to the mean height of the contact lines (see Figure B.2, dimension “d”),
without displacement of the vehicle from the l
