B60M
POWER SUPPLY LINES, AND DEVICES ALONG RAILS, FOR ELECTRICALLY- PROPELLED VEHICLES (control of points and safety arrangements along railway lines B61L; construction of rails and points in general E01B) [2018-08]
NOTE

  • This subclass deals with:
    • overhead, overground or underground power supply lines; their crossings and points, erection and supervision;
    • devices along rails and rail joints, for current conduction and for insulation;
    • safety devices along the route against earth currents and inductive interference with nearby communication lines
WARNING

  • In this subclass non-limiting references (in the sense of paragraph 39 of the Guide to the IPC) may still be displayed in the scheme.
