DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF OVERHEAD CURRENT COLLECTION FOR ELECTRIC TRACTION

In this paper some of the dynamic problems associated with high speed current collection from overhead catenaries are discussed and analyzed using a program developed by BR. This program simulates the dynamic behavior of the current collection system by using a finite difference method to solve the equations of motion for the catenary and pantographs are suggested.
