STUDY OF PANTOGRAPH WEDGING IN CROSSOVER TRACK

In crossovers in electrified territory, there is the possibility that the edge of the pantograph horn may wedge itself between the converging contact wires, causing major damage. A digital computer program has been developed to simulate this pantograph wedging. Its results are compared with full-scale test results. The problem of several vehicles with pantographs in a single train is also considered.
