Title: Guide for the measurement of pantograph off-line and evaluation of current collection performance for high speed railway (VT/RTSC/measurement of pantograph off-)

Scope: This guide specifies the requirement and testing methods for the pantograph offline, covering the aspects of the mechanics, optics, electro-magnetics and acoustics. Principles of the data interpretation are included. In addition, model for the arcing erosion, as well as the offline induced overvoltage, and harmonics, which impact the onsite devices’ safety shall be included.

Purpose: The purpose of this guide is to provide comprehensive offline test methods and provide reasonable evaluation of current collection performance for high speed railway.
