The disadvantages of existing current collection system for the Moscow monorail transport system are considered in the article. A new system differing in the contact geometry is proposed. Also the calculation of interaction of the offered current collection system based upon the Lagrange’s equations of second kind.

In the article the results of experimental research and calculation of wear of current collector system elements of electric transport are presented.

In the article the causes of deterioration of the current collection reliability in intermediate catenary spans of transitions of the high-speed contact systems are considered and the ways of increasing it during their reconstruction are offered
