scope:

This standard applies to the conductor rail system. It covers:

a) the fundamental design criteria to be met in any new proposal involving the conductor rail system;

b) requirements to avoid buckling;

c) requirements to enable smooth shoe interface;

d) requirements to avoid the possibility of 'gapping';

e) criteria for support and bonding of the conductor rail system. 

Where it is mandatory that any of the supporting information in Section 5 of this standard is to be applied, the appropriate requirement is set in Section 3. 

This issue of the standard replaces 1-162A3 

This standard supports the following LU Policies:

Purpose 

The purpose of this standard is to define the overall performance and design criteria for the conductor rail system.
