INCREASING THE LOADING STRENGTH OF COPPER OVERHEAD CONTACT WIRES

ERHOEHUNG DER BELASTBARKEIT VON KUPFERFAHRDRAEHTEN

A report on laboratory tests on contact wires for an electric traction supply. The purpose was to carry out prolonged testing (1600 hours) to determine damage to their mechanical properties caused by temperature conditions and the tension to which they were subjected. The document gives a detailed account of the very complex statistical analysis by regression and correlation of test results.
