Railway Group Approved Code of Practice GK/RC0752 Issue Two Date December 1998 Page E38 of 52 Withdrawn Document Uncontrolled When Printed <strong>General</strong> <strong>Information</strong> on Track Circuits 17.2 Impedance Bond Lug Plates In the case of the Style P3 impedance bond, the busbar is not secured directly to the impedance bond lug plate as with all other impedance bond types. A separate lug plate (Railway Catalogue No. 88/27761) is required, as shown in Figure E44. This is secured to the impedance bond lugs with four 1¼” x 3 /8” hexagon headed BSW bolts, plain spring washers and nuts, which are provided with the impedance bond. 17.3 Packing Pieces The arrangement of packing pieces required between busbar and sleeper is shown in Figure E29. The packing pieces are illustrated in Figure E45. They are not attached to the sleepers but secured to the busbar using No.10 x 1¼” wood screws. 17.4 Busbar Restrictor The busbar is maintained in position by a busbar restrictor arrangement. This comprises a pair of side stops (Railway Catalogue No 88/27760) as shown in Figure E46. The side stops incorporate a steel rod assembly to prevent excessive vertical movement. Installation of the busbar restrictor is shown in Figure E43. 17.5 Impedance Bond Connection Arrangements Figure E37 shows the various connection arrangements to be applied to Type 3 impedance bonds installed in new works. Connections for maintenance replacement of other types of impedance bond are shown in Figure 38. E 38 R A I L T R A C K
