This book covers the basic scientific theory and related application technologies of the pantograph-catenary system, including research findings on pantographcatenary resistance, pantograph interface thermal effect, laws and characteristics of current-carrying friction and wear, the main research methods for pantograph arcs, the effects of arcs on pantograph systems and onboard equipment, and the materials used for pantographs and wires. Given its scope, it offers a valuable resource for students, scholars, and development engineers alike.The relationship between pantograph and catenary is one of the three core aspects of the safe operation of high-speed electrified railways. The pantograph system provides electric power for the high-speed train through the sliding electric.
