Summary
For the rig test of a pantograph-catenary system, the hybrid simulation test rig, the electrical contact test rig and the friction and wear test rig were established. Then, the mechanical parameters, the electrical parameters and the material parameters of the pantograph-catenary system were tested. Furthermore, for the pantograph-catenary system the rig test methods of the static and dynamic mechanical performance, the electrical contact performance and the friction and wear performance are obtained. For the field test of the pantograph-catenary system, many field tests in the high speed railways were carried out and the corresponding test data including the dynamic performance, the current-collection performance and the aerodynamic performance of the pantograph and the catenary system were obtained. On the basis of the comparative analysis of the test data, the corresponding field test methods of the pantograph-catenary system were established.
