The Electrical Behaviour of Railway Pantograph Arcs

Abstract: 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 energy efficiency of the system, conducted and radiated disturbance, in particular for the new radio systems widely employed for signalling and communication.

“…The TB voltages and currents were investigated in various grounding layouts and resistances and compared, focusing on different PC arcing scenarios [21]. A supercapacitor-based method was proposed to mitigate the over-voltage from the PC arcing and its effectiveness was verified by simulations [22]. However, transient over-voltages to vehicular grounding were not scrutinized in this scenario.…”

“…Moreover, the authors of [9] present a review of different characterization methods for the impedance of catenary lines for resonance studies, offering an analysis on the influence of the methods used in calculations for a real 25 kV catenary scheme. Other review papers cover some power quality or electromagnetic compatibility aspects of railway systems that can correlate with waveform distortion issues like low-frequency oscillation [10], the impact of space and weather [11], human exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields [3], pantograph arcs [12], radiated electromagnetic emission measurements [13], etc.…”
