The electric field of the sliding contact during the interaction of the pantograph and the contact wire [PDF]
The process of transferring electrical energy from the contact wire to the pantograph takes place in a dynamic mode. Large currents are transmitted, and even the slightest separation of the sliding contact causes an arc formation.

A novel Active Control of Trolleybus Current Collection System (ACTCCS) [PDF]
The trolleybus has been a popular public transport vehicle for more than a hundred years across the world. However, the typical features of double passive pantograph-booms with two-wire overhead line often creates complicated catenary webs (particularly ...

The Electrical Behaviour of Railway Pantograph Arcs
Electric arcing is an unavoidable consequence of the current collection process by sliding contact in railways and metros, and in general in many electrified transportation systems (ETSs). The most relevant consequences in an electrical perspective are: the occurrence of transients triggering resonant behaviour and transient responses, reduction of the

Voltage transient management for Alternating Current trains with vacuum circuit breakers [PDF]
Alternating current power supplies and rolling stock with 25 kV (50 or 60 Hz) and 15 kV (16.7 Hz) traction systems do not have the characteristics and behaviour of a typical three‐phase medium‐voltage distribution system. Switching inductive loads with a

Operation and Control of an Active Power Collector for Roadside Feeding Electric Road System
The integration of electric vehicles (EVs) as an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel cars faces a range of technological obstacles, including battery technology, charging infrastructure, and standardization. Dynamic conductive road charging (DCRC) of EVs at high speed has the potential to overcome the technical ...

How pantograph electric arcs affect energy efficiency in DC railway vehicles [PDF]
In DC electrified railways pantograph electric arcs represent not only a disturbance, but the step change of the pantograph voltage affects power losses directly and indirectly. The available line voltage is reduced if the train is in traction condition,
