It is intended for charging inclined pipes in bridge supports, for destroying anti-tank barriers, for setting up passages in anti-tank barriers and for decontamination works in general.
TN traction charge belongs to the category of special charge. It has the shape of a steel tube with a diameter of 7 cm and is 160 cm long. The weight of the charge is 12 kg and contains 7.8 kg of cast tritol in a length of 150 cm, which corresponds to an amount of explosive of 5.2 kg per meter of length.
The TN cartridge is equipped with a detonator well with a screw insert. A detonator made of pressed pentrite Np 10 weighing 100 g is embedded in the detonator well, which serves for a better transfer of detonation between charges connected to a long drawn charge.
The individual charges can be connected with locks to create long drawn charges. In this way it is possible to create up to 100 m long towed charges. To make it easier to pull the charges out of the trench, for example, an extension with a rounded pull-out head, which is part of the kit, is attached to the first charge in the assembly.
A time detonator, a detonator (BP-1 detonator) or an electric detonator is used to ignite a TN charge. One of the above igniters is always inserted into the detonator well of the last TN charge in the towed charge assembly and secured with a detonator screw. The pentrite actuators in the detonator wells of the individual TN charges in the tow charge assembly then reliably ensure the transmission of detonation along the entire length of the tow.
TN traction charges are packed and transported in boxes of five pieces each. The boxes also include an extension with a rounded head, which serves to facilitate the movement of charges assembled into long traction charges in the field.
