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

For preventing the adhesion of ice or snow to contact wire, an autotransformer feeding circuit feeds the shorted circuit between up-line and down-line contact wire sectioned by the autotransformer. In March 1973 field tests were carried out in the area between Shirasawa and Yunosawa in the Ohu main line. In this report, the outline of the installation, results of the tests, theoretical investigations and the power characteristics of this feeding circuit if this system were to be applied to a nationwide Shin Kansen network are discussed.
