1.0 SCOPE:
1.1 In 25kV Over Head Traction System, bracket assembly supports both the main
conductors and is more or less pivoted to the structures, capable of swiveling
along the track as well as adjustable in transverse direction. This assembly holds
the 65 sq. mm (diameter: 10.5 mm) Cadmium Copper Catenary (1000/1200 kgf
tension) and 107/150 sq. mm. hard drawn Copper Contact wire(1000/1200 kgf
tension) in simple polygonal design (drawings attached as Annexure -I). A
schematic diagram of bracket assembly is placed at Annexure-II.
1.2 This specification covers the requirement of “Modular Cantilever System”
(henceforth referred as MCS)” to suit the foot print dimensions on OHE
masts/portals and insulators that exists on Indian Railway’s 25kV ac traction
network. Details of existing cantilever assembly components viz-a-viz Modular
Cantilever System components are given in Annexure-III.
1.3 MCS shall consist of cantilever, suitable mast attachment fittings, 25kV bracket &
stay insulators, catenary wire suspension system, steady arm and other
components & assemblies essentially required to support the over head
conductors for smooth current collection, without hard spots.
1.4 This specification covers the requirement of field trials of MCS on the nominated
section of Indian Railways at a maximum speed for that section for six months
period. The device shall be put for field trials, to observe its performance. Data
shall be recorded in the format enclosed at Annexure-IV to help in taking decision
regarding adoption of type of Modular Cantilever System suitable for Indian
Railways.
1.5 Modular Cantilever System shall be Light Weight and capable for use with trains
speed 200 kmph (minimum). Manufacturer shall submit the performance
certificate for 200 kmph speed.
1.6 As the requirements are defined for development of the Modular Cantilever
System, better specification/parameters may be accepted for trial/testing by
Indian Railways. Deviation in the specified parameters may also be considered by
Indian Railways on merit and mutual agreement basis. However, manufacturers
must note that once the product is developed and stabilised, Indian Railways
reserve the right to freeze/ standardize any particular design or may provide its
own design which shall be binding on all the manufacturers.
