A Study on the Pantograph Slide Wear Model Based on Energy Dissipation
During train operations, the contact surface between the pantograph slide and the catenary wire is subjected to mechanical friction and an electrical current, leading to an increase in the wear of the pantograph slide and a reduction in the service life ...

Pneumatic Active Control System for Pantograph-catenary interaction
Pantograph-catenary interaction is one of the most important items for operation of high speed trains, reliable current collection being the necessary pre-condition to speed up trains. Severe limitations can come from the variability of the contact force acting between the pantograph and the catenary, which can lead to poor current collection or ...
