Commissioning
Prior to commissioning pay attention to warnings and hints in chapter 11 “Warnings and cautions”.
Track supplies have to be commissioned in conjunction with other corresponding IPT
®
Rail components. For
commissioning it is thus necessary to have the secondary components installed on the vehicles. Access to
the secondary side pickups and power regulators on vehicles is necessary.
The primary system has to be installed completely before commissioning. Commissioning on site requires
adjustment of the primary track cable impedance that the Track Supply is connected to. The general operation
of the inductive energy supply, with regard to the required resonant conditions of the system, is adjusted to
the local conditions by means of capacitors and inductors.
These adjustments at the Track Supply must be done only by trained personnel.
During commissioning work the dangerous work zone has to be provided with warning signs and secured with
a shutoff tape against entry by unauthorized persons to the site or touching of current-carrying parts.
Requirements for the commissioning:
•
Entrance to the site without any problems.
•
Free access to the power supply without any difficulties.
•
Free access to all IPT
components.
•
Safe storage for all needed tools (components, tools, measurement equipment, utilities etc.)
•
Possibility to remove or to short-out pickup(s).
•
Possibility to increase the load on the pickup(s) / power regulator(s) step by step.
•
Access to external control signals to the Track Supply.
Any changes to the system (e.g. more vehicles) or in the environment after the commissioning
requires an additional commissioning.
12.1
System conditions
The permissible transient fluctuation of the system voltage is between -10% and +10% of the nominal voltage. If the values are
lower or higher than these, the technical specifications of the Track Supply cannot be guaranteed any longer and destruction of
some components may be the consequence.
12.2
System protection
The user must install fuses or overload disconnectors in the power input line according to the relevant regulations of the NEC and
all local regulations. The operation level must be coordinated with the internal fusing of the Track Supply and expected loading.
