Shorter sections are available.
The ground conductor is identified by international colour Transfer funnels and Transfer guides

spurlines, turntables and switches or other tranfer applications.
For obvious safety reasons phase and ground collectors are
not interchangeable.
Isolating sections

BRUSH WEAR INDICATOR FOR U 15 19 12
Brush wear indicator KVT 15 N The brush wear indicator automatically checks the wear of
carbon brushes. The indicator is infinitely variable to the wearing
height of carbon brushes. A worn down carbon brush actuates
an impulse. It is recommended to place the indicator near a
maintenance area in order to open automatically a switch leading
the monorail hoist to the repair zone.

Earthing spider system, 4-pole for insulated conductors – VDE 0105 Part 100 (EN 50110-1)
Serves for earthing and short-circuiting the phase conductors with the ground conductor in the case of maintenance work.
The system consists of terminal clamps for the conductors and copper wire ropes.
Earthing spider system cannot be used together with compact conductor arragement.
