The distance between arc trap and nearest live p\>rtion will be adjustable upto a
maximum of 320 mm. The adjustment of electrical clearance between arc trap and
nearest live portion shall be available at the arc itself. Raising or lowering of arc trap for
the purpose of adjustment in air clearance leading to adjustment of register arm tube
shall not be permitted. The distance between contact plane and the centre of register arm
tube is 300 mm fixed. Therefore, the arc trap shall be positioned in such a manner that
this distance of300 mm is not at all disturbed~f the arc trap is proposed to be suspended
from register arm tube through suitable rigid attachments, the dimension of register arm
tube 33.7 mm OD/28.4 mm ID standard should be kept in view. During the passage of
pantograph there shall be no disturbance in the electrical clearance once it is fixed.

a) Suitable means of suspension of the components of the assembly from the

catenary conductor shall be provided. The complete assembly shall be as
