16. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Any intervention must be carried out
with the
line switched off at the mains
.
Maintenance primarily concerns the brushes of the collectors and the conductive tracks of the rails.
CHECKING THE BRUSHES
The average service life of the brushes is 2,000 km.
With the line switched off, take the collector casing out of the rail.
200A Collector:
Brush replacement: the wear limit is the base of the chamfer.
Pull up the brush to take it out of the pantograph casing, and unfasten the bolted link with the cable. Make
sure the cable lug and the screw are placed correctly upon re-assembling!
60A Collector:
Brush replacement: the wear limit is the base of the chamfer.
Unfasten and take out the brush fastening screw. Remove the brush and replace. Re-assemble in the reverse
order.
After the brushes are fitted, make sure that the head of the collector rests smoothly in a neutral position
(horizontally and in the axis).
MONITORING AND RENOVATION OF TRACKS
Track surface quality can deteriorate in different ways: under the action of dust, or with the presence
of pitting (due to arcing…).
Schedule periodic maintenance (according to environment, rate of use …) to run the cleaning trolley.
Perform several passages back and forth with the cleaning brushes (abrasive foam) to remove all
dust and all solid deposits, then repeat the operation with edging brushes (sanding belt, grit 120) to improve
brushes quality surface.
Single collectors: facing the cleaning collector, clean the rails one by one.
Double collectors: replace a collector brush by a maintenance brush; fasten the cable to one of the
maintenance collector.
