Abstract

The contact force characteristic between the pantograph and the catenary wire represents the current collection quality of trains; it should be precisely controlled under international standard. Recently, a noise reduction cover has been installed around the pantograph of high speed trains. However, little study on the contact force by the pantograph cover has been conducted. In this study, the impact on the current collection performance of the pantograph cover was analyzed by dynamic contact force measurement using a next generation high speed train (HEMU-430X). As a result, it was confirmed that the attachment of a pantograph cover could lower the mean contact force by approximately 50N at 300km/h. In addition, the pure difference of the average contact force by the presence of pantograph cover, except for the static pressure, was measured and found to be up to 110N at 300km/h. It was also found that the standard deviation of the contact force of 3~5N could be changed by use of a pantograph cover.

팬터그래프와 전차선간의 접촉력 특성은 열차의 집전성능을 나타내는 중요한 특성으로서 국제규격에 따른 엄격한 관리가 필요한 항목이다. 최근에는 소음저감 커버가 고속열차의 팬터그래프 주위에 설치가 되고 있으나 팬터그래프 커버에 의한 접촉력 특성에 대한 연구는 거의 수행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 차세대고속열차(HEMU-430X)를 이용하여 팬터그래프 커버가 팬터그래프의 집전성능에 미치는 영향을 동적 접촉력 측정을 통하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 팬터그래프 커버가 부착이 되면 300km/h 주행 시 평균접촉력이 약 50N 낮아짐을 확인하였다. 또한 정적압상력을 제외한 순수한 팬터그래프 커버 유무에 의한 평균접촉력의 차이는 300km/h에서 최대 110N까지 측정되었다. 한편 팬터그래프 커버에 의하여 접촉력 표준편차가 약 3~5N 변화하는 것도 확인하였다.
