Effect of Track Irregularity on Wire Displacement for the Evaluation of Wire Dynamic Performance

Key Points

• The research investigates how track irregularity affects wire displacement and dynamic performance in electric supply systems.
• Evaluated wire height measurement alongside theoretical models.
• Assumed wire height measurements influence displacement, deformation, and support height.
• Used track inspection data and beam theory models to replicate wire height responses.
• Tension reduction resulted in a shift of the minimal wire height position towards the starting side.
• Demonstrated a relationship between mechanical parameters and wire height dynamics.
