Abstract
ABSTRACT Due to the constant pursuit for higher operating velocity, the traction power capacity for high-speed trains needs to be enlarged. When the train passes approach the insulating sections set between the two neighbouring contact lines carrying the traction current with different phases, the vehicle-mounted vacuumed circuit breaker (VCB) needs to be switched off. Generally, the arc may generate when connecting or separating the contacts, when switching on or off the VCB. In order to investigate the characteristics of the reignition overvoltage the ‘train-rail-catenary’ traction power supply model considering the reignition process between the VCB’s contacts is launched in this paper. The impact of the dielectric strength recovery rate between the contacts of the VCB on the number of reignition and the amplitude of the reignition overvoltage is analysed based on the experimental and simulation results. Ultimately, the corresponding restraining measures are proposed for suppressing the reignition overvoltage.
期刊介绍:
The unprecedented modernization and expansion of rail transportation system will require substantial new efforts in scientific research for field-deployable technologies. The International Journal of Rail Transportation (IJRT) aims to provide an open forum for scientists, researchers, and engineers in the world to promote the exchange of the latest scientific and technological innovations in rail transportation; and to advance the state-of-the-art engineering and practices for various types of rail based transportation systems. IJRT covers all main areas of rail vehicle, infrastructure, traction power, operation, communication, and environment. The journal publishes original, significant articles on topics in dynamics and mechanics of rail vehicle, track, and bridge system; planning and design, construction, operation, inspection, and maintenance of rail infrastructure; train operation, control, scheduling and management; rail electrification; signalling and communication; and environmental impacts such as vibration and noise. The editorial policy of the new journal will abide by the highest level of standards in research rigor, ethics, and academic freedom. All published articles in IJRT have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent experts. There are no page charges and colour figures are included in the online edition free of charge.
