Study Notes
Wear MC Type R/T
- Wear MC type R/T has three decision criteria:
- ≤ 0.8 mm: no measures necessary
- 0.8 < x ≤ 1.3 mm: replacement of contact system at next maintenance
- > 1.3 mm: release for rigid operation, if MC wear is < 1.3 mm in all 3 sectors on one side and the diverter switch is latched onto this side for rigid operation
Change Log
- 3 March, 2023: TSC Steindl adjusted limit values
- 21 July, 2006: TSC Steindl published the first version
Guide Plate - Checking Wear
- Visual check of the lower guide plate is sufficient to find the area of maximum wear
- Measurements should be taken in this area using a caliper
- Wear results from the difference between two measured values
- Replacement criterion:
- 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm: replace the lower guide plate during next maintenance
- More than 1.2 mm: contact the relevant OPS
Oil Compartment Contacts - Checking Cylindrical Pins
- Correct seating of all cylindrical pins of the main contact carriers must be checked during every inspection or maintenance
- Secure them from loosening where necessary
Admissible or OLTC-Dependent Reference Dimension
- Different values for movable and fixed contacts, depending on the type of contact carrier
- Minimum residual values, individual wear criteria, and additional wear criteria are specified for each type
