Mount air gap
Air gaps are used for galvanic isolation and segmentation of system sections and subdivide a conductor rail system into sections
(e.g., maintenance lines that can be fed in and switched on separately). An air gap consists of two opposing end caps. For each
isolation point, two air gaps are mounted at a suitable distance to avoid voltage leak across the double current collector.
Requirements:
The ends of the conductor rail ends are deburred (see Fig. 46) and not connected with a connector.
Please refer to the project-specific documents for the exact position of an air gap.
Required tools:
◼
Open-end wrench SW8 for the fixed point screw
◼
Hexagon screwdriver, SW5
◼
Rubber mallet
◼
Open-end wrench SW10
Work steps:
→
Slide the hanger clamp (Pos. 1), anchor clamp (Pos. 2) and end cap onto the end of the rail (see Fig. 91). Do not yet tighten the
screws on the side of the anchor clamp.
