Characterisation of an Optical Strain Gauge for Pantograph Applications

An optical strain gauge is developed and characterised for an active pantograph for high-speed electrical trains applications. Indeed, the pantograph is subjected to a continuous impact forces when it makes contact with the 25 kV overhead ac line. To detect load behaviour experienced, by the electri...
