Pantograph and catenary system with double pantographs for high-speed trains at 350 km/h or higher

The paper is aimed at developing an optimized design of the pantograph and catenary system with double pantographs at a speed of 350 km/h for the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway.First,the pantograph and catenary system for the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway was analyzed to verify whether its design objective could be fulfilled.It shows that the system is not able to satisfy the requirement of a sustainable running speed of 350 km/h.Then a new scheme for the pantograph and catenary system is proposed ...
