| BB 25660 "Running-in" procedure September 29, 2018 |
 |
Since it was taken over by the APCC 6570, the BB 25660 has benefited from intense and meticulous restoration and preparation work on the part of our technical team. At the end of this work, static tests were carried out in the Avignon depot under 1.5 KV continuous and 25 KV single-phase. But in order to test the operation of the machine online, it was necessary to perform a "running-in" run after overhaul. This was done on Saturday September 29, 2018, by a round trip Avignon-Aubagne via Cavaillon.Verdict : flawless behavior of the BB 25660 ! If you want to go behind the scenes of part of the static tests carried out in early September 2018, we suggest you watch the following video : click here.Below, some photos of the running-in run of September 29, 2018. |
