If you are doing 5 year full loads and going by the book, youll load the car to capacity and run it at contract speed into the buffer. Unless we are on a goverment job we never do high speed buffer tests. What the points of removing the leads? Are you gonna remove the leads then turn the power back on? On the thyssen MRLs we load the car run it up a couple floors up. Block up the sheave brake/rope gripper. Then we have a tool we can pick the brake with. Super easy to make a brake picking tool that works off of 110 and pull the brake leads off the controller. Then after we crash the buffer then we run the car back up and then the buffer has a certain amount of time to return.
To do the %125 percent we load the car with the weight in the car on the 2nd landing. Then run it down one floor then it should hold. If not then the buffer is right there to catch the car to minimize damage.
I would like to see a ecospace. I never seen one. Is the governor accessible to trip it in flight?
