  1. NEW MATERIALS FOR THE RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE The problem of current collection JSC RAILWAY RESEARCH INSTITUTE

  2. NEW MATERIALS FOR THE RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTUREThe problem of head current collection • WIRES: • contact wires; • suspension cable CURREN COLLECTION INSERTS: MATERIAL: Carbon; Carbon-copper DESIGN: Simple; Compound SHAPE: Rectangular; Aerodynamic OVERHEADLINE SUSPENSION

  3. NEW MATERIALS FOR THE RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTUREThe problem of head current collection Tightening of operating conditions for high-speed traffic Current collection for high-speed railway transport is characterised by a simultaneous increase in: • TENSION STRESS OF OVERHEAD CATENARY WIRES INCREASES 2–3-FOLD;wave propagation speed ~ √N/m (N = tension force, m = weight per unit length); wave speed must exceed train speed • 2. SPEEDS INCREASE BY A FACTOR OF 2–2.5 • 3. CURRENT VALUE GROWS 1.5-2 TIMES • 4. ROLLING STOCK POWER IS PLANNED TO RISE TO 20 MW • 5. CURRENT AT THE CURRENT COLLECTOR: UP TO 4 kA FOR DIRECT CURRENT, OVER 1 kA FOR ALTERNATING CURRENT

  4. NEW MATERIALS FOR THE RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTUREThe problem of head current collection CURRENT COLLECTION FOR HIGH-SPEED RAIL TRANSPORT PROBLEMS: • A SHARP INCREASE IN WEAR AND DAMAGE RATES; 2.   INCREASED IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL WEAR (UP TO 1.5 KM OF CONTACT WIRE MUST BE REPLACED OWING TO INCREASED WEAR OF A FEW METRES); 3.LOW TEMPERATURE CREEP OF CONTACT WIRES AND SUSPENSION CABLES. • CAUSES OF THE UNSOLVED PROBLEM: • REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IS INSUFFICIENT OR NONEXISTENT; • NO SYSTEMATIC STUDIES AND TESTS OF MATERIALS USED IN THE COLLECTOR ASSEMBLY ARE AVAILABLE; • MATERIALS FOR HIGH-CURRENT SLIDING ELECTRICAL CONTACTS OF HIGH-SPEED RAIL TRANSPORT ARE NOT AVAILABLE
