Railway applications - Rolling stock - Pantographs: Characteristics and tests - Part 1: Pantographs for main line vehicles
This document defines the general assembly characteristics which are to be applied to pantographs, to enable current collection from the overhead line system. It also defines the tests the pantographs have to perform, excluding insulators. This standard does not apply to pantograph dielectric tests, which are to be performed on the pantograph installed on the vehicle roof. This standard does not apply to pantographs used on isolated metros and light rail systems: these pantographs are considered in EN 50206-2
