Installation
Works to be performed when installing new overhead line systems
- Setting the masts using the MAGE 75 – for small masts, motor tower cars can be used as well; compressed-air connections help for breaking work
- Mounting the fittings
- Mounting the insulators
- Mounting the cantilevers
- Installing the carrying cable
- Installing the contact wire – Using a catenary installation machine (FUM) the contact wire is installed with final nominal tension, therefore, no stretching break is needing (see articles "Tension in every phase")
- Mounting the droppers (possibly prefabricated)
- Mounting the contact rails (if necessary) in tunnels
- Measuring the position of the contact wire – statically or dynamically (e.g. vertical and lateral position of the contact wire with increased contact pressure of the pantograph)
- Contact wire alignment positioning tower enabling easy measuring during assembly
