Enclosed conductor system LSV | LSVG

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical specifications and guidelines for the Vahle Aluminium enclosed conductor systems, specifically the LSV and LSVG models. These systems are designed for safe and efficient electrification in industrial applications such as cranes, monorails, and mobile machinery.

Technical Specifications:

Maximum continuous current: 300 A with an 80% duty cycle.
Nominal voltage: 690 V.
Collector rating: 40 A to 80 A.
Temperature resistance: -40°C to +100°C, with specific components rated differently.
Impedance and resistance values are provided for various copper conductor sizes.

System Description: The LSV and LSVG systems are compact, prefabricated electrification solutions suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They offer high safety standards, minimal maintenance, and adaptability to high ambient temperatures, meeting VDE 0470 part 1 and EN 60529 safety requirements.

Components and Configurations:

Housing: Made of standardized aluminium profiles, allowing for 4-11 conductors depending on the model.
Couplings: Use side fish plates or bolted joints depending on the amperage.
Feed Sets: Available as end feeds or line feeds, with specific configurations for different amperage ratings.
Brackets & Hangers: Standard support spacing is 2 m, with options for up to 3 m.
Expansion Joints: Compensate for thermal expansion without interrupting current flow.

Safety and Installation: Emphasizes the importance of safety during installation, especially in environments with aggressive conditions or low voltage requirements. Guidelines are provided for ensuring safe distances and protection against contact.

Applications and Recommendations: Recommended for environments with high humidity or aggressive conditions, with options for anodized versions and heating systems for icing conditions. Guidelines for ordering and customization based on specific installation needs are included.

Transfer and Switch Arrangements: Specifications for transfer and switch arrangements include the use of turntables and sliding switches. Emphasizes submitting drawings for transfer applications, specifying dimensions and angles, and ensuring transfer funnels are not activated before collectors are fully engaged. Flexible support type tow arms are essential for collectors in contact sections.

Transfer Funnel: All transfer funnels are 0.5 meters long and part of the system length. Specifies the need for towing arms with lateral and vertical tolerances and a maximum entry speed for collector units of 60 m/min. Conductors should be connected to mains only when all carbons of the collector have full contact with the conductor rail.

Transfer Guide, Straight Cut: Requirements for transfer guides with a straight cut include the need for double collectors or two single collectors. The maximum travel speed for collector units is 80 m/min, and the arrangement of transfer guides should be staggered with specific horizontal and vertical tolerances.

Transfer Guide, Oblique Cut: Similar to the straight cut, oblique cut transfer guides require detailed drawings for manufacturing. The staggered arrangement and maximum travel speed remain the same as the straight cut guides.

Heating System: Factory assembled on the powerail, recommended for outdoor installations with icing conditions or humid environments. Details the composition of the heating cable and provides an example for ordering a heating system for a 60-meter trolley duct. The heating capacity is approximately 40 W/m, and the system includes copper protection tubes and terminal boxes.

Heating Cable Specifications: Various heating cables are listed with resistance values ranging from 0.15 Ohm/m to 3.00 Ohm/m, each with a specific order number for identification.

Installation Requirements: Heating lengths should be connected in series and fed over a transformer with appropriate low secondary voltage. Alternatively, two copper protective pipes can be provided.

Anti-Condensation Sections: Prevent icing by allowing warm air to escape, thus avoiding condensation. Installed at the transition from indoor to outdoor environments.

Telescope Sections: Accommodate expansion due to temperature fluctuations. They separate the track electrically and require separate power feeds for each section.

Expansion Joint Sections: Compensate for the expansion and contraction of materials due to temperature changes. Necessary for systems using bolted joints and installed between fixpoints.

Collectors: Available for different amperage ratings and configurations, ensuring continuous electrical contact and equipped with terminal boxes.

Double Collectors: Designed for higher amperage, these collectors come with flexible or rigid connections and are used for specific applications requiring robust electrical contact.
