DETECTION OF THE PANTOGRAPH CONTACT FORCE
- direct detection of the pantograph pressure against the contact wire
- measurement of the trolley uplift by the sensor mounted right on the contact wire
- evaluating right on the spot
- operable for speed 30-250 km/h
- may be used as part of diagnostic checkpoints in the rail network
- optional integration to superior operational systems
- prevention of accidents – dismantling of the contact wire due to excessive pressure
- prevention of contact wire deterioration – insufficient pressure
