Simplification of Structure of Shinkansen Overhead Contact Lines
The Tohoku and Joetsu Shinkansen are at a time of renewal of facilities since their operation started almost 30 years ago. In this project, it is planned to change their overhead contact line system to simple catenary equipment. Compared to the current system composed of three wires, simple catenary equipment has only two wires, so changing to simple catenary equipment is expected to reduce construction costs and needfor maintenance. With Shinkansen speed increases, load current is expected to increase too. In order to overcome these issues, the authors studied an overhead contact line system structure that can withstand high frequency and heavy current load, and they laid the test system on Tohoku Shinkansen between Furukawa and Kurikoma-Kogen. It has shown good potential in current collecting, and we will continue testing it for further application.
