Monorails with battery-powered electric drives have become generally accepted as transport system in the German hardcoal industry. Unfortunately their distance range is restricted by the limited capacity of the batteries. An external energy supply increases the velocity due to voltage stabilization, decreases the battery discharge (e.g. in inclined roadways), and increases the distance range of the transport medium. Whilst efforts to integrate trolley wire and trolley harp for the external energy supply into an flp enclosure in the German hardcoal industry were unsuccessful this project reports on a successful encapsulation of trolley wire and harp in a pressurized enclosure. Under the project the major parts for the operation of the power supply were developed, built and tested underground in a test roadway. By meausrements the benefits of the power supply were documented: Increase in the velocity by 25%, increase in the distance range of the battery trolley. (orig.) With 10 figs.
