DEVELOPMENT OF FEEDING SYSTEMS FOR PREVENTING THE ADHESION OF ICE OR SNOW TO CONTACT WIRE

In Shin Kansen railway scheduled to be constructed across snowy regions, it is worried that ice or snow would adhere to contact wire in winter and cause a train operation trouble originating from the difficulty in pantograph current collection. So methods which would supply electric currents to contact wire and prevent the adhesion of ice or snow with Joule's heat generated come into notice recently. But any applicative method has not been studied yet for Auto-transformer (AT) feeding system which would become a standard feeding system in future Shin Kansen network. This report explains some of such kind of methods newly proposed and describes their electrical characteristics.
