ABSTRACT:
A configuration for detecting gaps in a conductor rail for electric rail vehicles being fed through conductor rails, includes a proximity switch. A component of a current collector can be pressed against an activation element of the proximity switch if a gap in the conductor rail is present so that a conductor-rail gap signal can be produced in conjunction with an evaluation device, when there is an interrupted conductor rail. Alternatively, a proximity sensor can be used instead of a proximity switch. The proximity sensor can also detect a conductor rail directly without components of the current collector being involved in the detection.
