Insulated conductor system U10

Product catalog summary
General Information
The U10 insulated conductor system is designed according to VDE 0100 standards, ensuring safety against accidental human contact as per VDE 0470, part 1 (DIN EN 60529), with a protection classification of IP 21. It is approved for indoor use only and can consist of multiple conductors with minimal space requirements. Systems with operating voltages above 25 VAC or 60 VDC require additional safety measures like barriers or shut-off switches.
Technical Data
The conductor system is available in various versions with a standard phase distance of 14 mm. It is suitable for indoor applications only, with a standard section length of 6 meters. The system supports both copper and stainless steel conductors, with specific configurations for different environmental conditions.
Components and Accessories
  • Compact Hangers: Used for installation, maintaining a 14 mm phase distance.
  • Joint Splice/Feed: Connects conductor sections mechanically and electrically.
  • Feed Terminals: Allow feed connections at joint splices and other locations.
  • Transfer Guides: Protect conductor ends and facilitate reliable passage of collector brushes.
  • Isolating Assemblies: Interrupt electrical current flow, used for control functions and maintenance sections.
  • Expansion Sections: Allow for expansion capability.
Safety and Compliance
The system complies with various international standards, including DIN, EN, ISO, IEC, and UL. Safety measures include maintaining a minimum safety distance of 0.5 meters between the conductor/current collector arrangement and other equipment.
Installation and Maintenance
Installation tools and guidelines are provided to ensure proper setup and maintenance. The system includes various components like carbon brushes, springs, and connecting cables, each with specific installation requirements.
Overview
The document provides detailed specifications and ordering information for various electrical components used in conductor systems, including compact hangers, locating clamps, current collectors, connecting cables, terminal boxes, and brush wear indicators.
Specifications
The document lists various tools and components for installation, including curve tools, filler rods, crosscut saws, deburring files, conductor punch tools, adjustment jigs, transfer guides, joint splice/feed assembling tools, locking pin drivers, conductor removal tools, and installation toolboxes.
Installation Tools
Tools are specified for forming curves, cutting profiles, deburring, punching conductor profiles, and assembling joint splices.
Application Questionnaire
This section includes a detailed questionnaire for planning installations, covering aspects such as installation concept, type of application, conductor orientation, installation height, and environmental requirements.
Environmental Requirements
Details on installation location, ambient temperature, relative humidity, and extraordinary environmental conditions are provided to ensure proper installation and operation.
Data Transmission and Positioning
Options for data transmission include SMGM, Powercom, Semi-Wave, and CAN-Bus systems. Positioning systems include APOS Optic and APOS Magnetic.
Configuration Notes
The document notes that the system is not suited for outdoor installation and provides a framework for quantity and configuration of components.
