Study about the dynamic performance of the railway overhead CHV-3

A. Carnicero J.R. Jiménez-Octavio

September 2006 - November 2006

Funding entity Cosemel Ingeniería


The goal of the proyect is to study the dynamic behaviour of the CHV-3 railway overhead when it is used at 220 km/h. The contact force between the pantograph and the catenary and the displacements of the contact wire will be computed. With it, one will verify the fulfillment of the requirements established in the European Standards EN 50119,EN 50367 and STI.
