Abstract

During the operation of high-speed trains, the pantograph will inevitably have occasional and instantaneous separations from the power supply line, resulting in the pantograph catenary arc (PCA). The diverse states of PCA generated in different sections of the power supply line will lead to various electromagnetic interference (EMI). To study the transient characteristics of PCA, firstly, the voltage and the dissipative power of PCA at the common and neutral sections of the power supply line are analyzed and calculated respectively. Secondly, two PCA models that describe the different PCA states are established based on the improved Habedank arc model. Finally, the high-frequency transient voltage and current of the PCA when high-speed trains pass through the common and neutral sections at different speeds are obtained by simulation. In this paper, we comprehensively study the model and the transient characteristics of PCA, which provides a theoretical basis and relevant data for further study of its EMI.
