3.5.3. Required space for the ABB pole
The ABB pole requires a space of 48.82 x 51.18 Inch. This space is calculated as follows:
An ABB pole footprint of 40.95 x 11.81 Inch.
The following free space:
3.94 Inch at the rear side.
3.94 Inch at the left side.
3.94 Inch at the right side.
35.43 Inch at the front side to open the door.
In general: no trees (leaves) close to the ABB pole.
3.6. Pole position in relation to the bus
It is important that the pole has the good position in relation with the bus, so that the
pantograph can make physical contact with the charge interface rails on the roof of the bus.
In general the bus has a certain freedom degree to position under the pantograph:
Drive direction = 23.62 (±11.81) Inch;
Sideway = 19.69 (±9.84) Inch;
When the road is horizontal and the top of road (TOR) is flat (no wear).
Before ordering the ABB pole the correct position of the pantograph
within the pole must be calculated by ABB. This is determined during the
site survey for placement of the pole and is performed by ABB. Contact
ABB Sales department (see Contact information on Page 13 for contact
details).
3.6.1. Pole position in relation to the drive direction of the bus
Note: the following example is with respect to a bus which has the charge rails directly above
the front wheelbase.
The front wheelbase is exactly below the power charge connection rails on the roof of the bus.
So the center of the pole should be in line with the center of the front wheel of the bus.
