Study on electric spark discharge between pantograph and catenary in electrified railway

Abstract The electric spark caused by pantograph‐catenary (PC) electrical contact failure happens frequently, it is a kind of arcing phenomenon which can severely affect the current collection of PC. The theoretical analysis and modelling of PC electric spark are tried. First, the contact spots betw...
