Bibliography
IEC 60913:2013 applies to electric traction overhead contact line systems in heavy railways, light railways, trolley busses and industrial railways of public and private operators. It applies to new installations of overhead contact line systems and for the complete reconstruction of existing overhead contact line systems. It provides the requirements and tests for the design of overhead contact lines, requirements for structures and their structural calculations and verifications as well as the requirements and tests for the design of assemblies and individual parts. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition deal with:
- fundamental design data,
- system requirements,
- structures,
- components requirements, and
- testing.
