Influence of Rail Line Gradient and Curve on Pantograph-Catenary Dynamic Performance by Huan ZOU, Ning ZHOU, Dong ZOU, Weihua ZHANG

“…The results showed that, when the slope change rate is 0, the influence of line on the dynamic response of the pantograph/catenary isn’t obvious;the positive slope change rate of the contact wire decreases the mechanical wear of pantograph/catenary, the stability of current is reduced, and it increases the electrical wear, but the negative slope change rate of the contact wire makes opposite; the smaller the radius of the vertical and horizontal curve, the worse the stability of the pantograph/catenary dynamic performance, which can not be ignored in the simulation, and it should be considered in the line design, construction and interval speed limit of horizontal curve and vertical curve setting.…”
