Abstract
The condition monitoring and defect diagnosis are wildly used to improve catenary performance and reduce maintenance costs. This paper proposed a novel diagnosis system. This system monitors and inspects catenary based on strain signals which are measured on pantograph. It greatly simplifies the detection setup and can detect the operation conditions in real-time. Significantly different from traditional ones, this system uses strain as index, which can not only describe interaction status, but also offer catenary location feature. An application experiment is carried out in a commercial metro line and the results verified the reliability and effectiveness of this diagnosis system.
