High Rise OHE
Maintenance
& Operation of
“High Rise OHE”
Learning Objectives :
Modification of Tower
wagon to make it
suitable for running on
high rise OHE lines.
High Rise OHE
Movement of double stack container with
maximum height 6809 mm on electric traction.
4.265 m
7.100 m
Advantages of Double Stack Container
Increased throughput
Maximum OHE
span
72.00 m 54.00 m
Maximum stagger
on tangent track
200 mm +_ 150 mm
Maximum stagger
on curve
300 mm +_ 250 mm
Clearances under over line structure
(High Rise OHE)
Minimum
SN Type of over line structure headroom
clearance
Light overhead structure, such as
1 8.43 m
FOB
Heavy overhead structure such as
2 8.05 m
ROB, Flyovers
Heavy overhead structure such as
ROB, Flyovers, if any turnout or
3 8.43 m
crossover is located underside or
nearby 40 m
Clearances under over line structure
(Under Restriction)
Minimum
SN Type of over line structure restricted
heights
Foot patrolling
Due to more
height of OHE
visibility during
foot patrolling is
difficult.
Tower Wagon Design
Deck needs
modification
for working
on high rise
OHE.
As height of
OHE is 7.57 m
(Contact) and
8.97 m
(Catenary),
working of
staff at this
height is
difficult.
Emergency Mast
Height of Emergency
mast in conventional
OHE is 8.90 m
(as per RDSO spec. ETI/C/0072)
It needs to be
bound at
bottom fitting
instead of
number plate as
in conventional
hence unsafe.
Due to too much
length of
discharge rod
while erecting it
in mid lines of
yard it enters in
to another
elementary
sections.
It is very
difficult to
handle when
lifting it for
erection.
Extensible Ladder
Length of
extensible straight
ladder has been
proposed as 13.00
m compared to
conventional
ladder of 11.00 m.
Extensible Ladder
More manpower
needs to be
employed for
working on it.
It swings due to
increased length
but no
modification in
thickness.
Merging with Conventional OHE with
High Rise OHE
Gradient @ 10 mm/m.
