CURRENT COLLECTION WITH TWO-STAGE PANTOGRAPHS ON THE NEW PARIS-LYON LINE
Testing has shown that power can be collected from a catenary at 300 km/h but the Paris South East high-speed route presents special problems because the TGV trainsets must draw power from a heavy 1.5 kV dc catenary at both ends at 200 km/h and from a 25 kV ac catenary at 260 km/h on the new line. A two-stage pantograph will be used for the 25 kV-ac line, combining rapid response of the collector at very high speed with the large variations of contact wire height on existing lines.
