U10 ensures reliable power supply for the 5-inch People Mover

Background

After two years of intensive collaboration, the time has finally come: the OLYMPIC-BAU project has been successfully completed! On the day of the inauguration ceremony, which was also documented in a short film, the smooth installation and flawless functioning of the system was celebrated.

The challenge

The model building application placed special demands on the energy transmission. It was essential to find a compact and reliable solution that could be optimally integrated into the existing support structure. In addition, a smooth interface adaptation had to be guaranteed in order to ensure long-term operation.

Our solution

The track system works with a 2-pole DC solution with a total length of 40 meters. For the power supply, 10 x 6 m long U10 busbars were supplied without pre-bending at the factory. A PE rail was not required, as earthing is carried out via the conductor rail.

The compact holder (type 02 KA) and the compact current collector (type 02ST) play a decisive role in the reliable transfer of energy. Particular attention was paid to the correct integration of the interfaces to the support structure in order to ensure a perfect fit and smooth operation.
