Study on Pantograph–Rigid Catenary Separation Through Simulation Experiments and the Dynamic Characteristics of DC Arcs

Machines
The pantograph–catenary system is a critical component of the traction power supply network. Due to hard points on the overhead contact line and vibrations of the pantograph, pantograph–catenary separation may occur, leading to offline DC arc events.

Review of Catenary Icing on High‐Speed Railways: Characteristics, Impact and Countermeasures

High Voltage, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 601-619, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The pantograph–catenary system (PCS) is the only path for electrified railway trains to acquire energy. Catenary icing during winter is a common natural phenomenon, which usually leads to the deterioration of the current quality and severely affects the operational safety of trains.

An Experimental Investigation of the Electrical Tribological Characteristics of a Copper–Silver Alloy Contact Wire/Novel Pure Carbon Slider

Lubricants
The sliding electric contact that is established between the catenary wire and pantograph slider serves as the primary mechanism through which contemporary high-speed railway trains obtain their driving energy. The wear resistance of both the sliders and

The Generating Mechanism and Suppression Measure of the ‘Wheel‐Rail’ Rolling Arc for Electrified Trains

High Voltage, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 370-384, April 2026.
ABSTRACT As the ‘main blood vessel’ of the traction power supply system for high‐speed trains, the ‘wheel‐rail’ coupling grounding reflux system provides the vital channel to send traction current back to terrestrial substations; meanwhile, the rail track also plays a role in transmitting the train's occupancy signal to the control system. An insulated

FCDM‐Net: A Feature‐Calibrated Dynamic Masking Network Based on Pre‐Trained Models for Few‐Shot Catenary Component Anomaly Detection

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper proposes a novel feature‐calibrated dynamic masking network (FCDM‐Net) for the unified few‐shot anomaly detection of catenary components. First, a lightweight residual adapter is integrated with a frozen visual encoder. Through a few‐shot fine‐tuning strategy, the general visual features are mapped to the specific manifold space of catenary ...
