DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF THE 3RD RAIL POWER COLLECTOR FOR THE KOREAN STANDARDIZED LIGHT RAIL VEHICLE

초록

This study was aimed to establish the acceptable contact force range between power collector and 3rd rail type conductor rail for the Korean Standardized rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle. Dynamic behavior, contact force variation and interruption in operation, were analyzed for initial various contact forces and the worst installation tolerance of the conductor rail. The power collector was designed and manufactured to satisfy the Korean Standardized Specifications of the rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle. With rotary disk type equivalent testing apparatus with circular conductor rail, the interruptions were measured. Based on these results, acceptable contact force range was proposed to ensure power collection stability.
