This document is a guide for the installation and maintenance of the U35 conductor system. It provides instructions on the installation steps, required tools, and the installation methods for brackets, insulation clamps, conductors, and bolted joints. It also covers the preparation of conductor sections and the installation of expansion sections. The U35 conductor system is suitable for straight and curved sections and has the ability to freely expand and contract.
The Vahle U35 service manual provides detailed technical data, including torque values for various bolt sizes, maximum permissible lengths at different temperatures, and air‑gap specifications. It contains multiple tables (T1‑T5) that list dimensional limits and tolerances for the product.
The document also includes reference values for torque (e.g., M6, M10, M12, M16) and guidance on installation parameters such as air‑gap distances and temperature‑dependent length limits. This information is intended for service technicians and engineers working with the U35 unit. This manual is written in German.
