CATENARY MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS

Span, stagger, wire height, tension, wave propagation velocity, bending rigidity, vibration endurance, wear... when it comes to overhead or catenary lines, there are lots of things to worry about, not to mention the services and added value that overhead lines bring to your customers such as high-speed transport, power for running portable computers or air conditioning.

Your maintenance program needs an accurate and reliable system, one that won't have you sending out your maintenance staff for every anomaly revealed in measurement.

• Geometry & Contact Wire Wear
  Automatic monitoring of contact lines (up to 8 wires simultaneously) through accurate measurements of stagger, wire height and residual tickness.
• Electric Parameters Analysis
  Real-time assessment of the electric power drained from the contact wire through key electric parameters measurement.
  
  
• Pantograph / Catenary Interaction Measuring System
  Monitoring of interaction forces between pantograph and overhead line through the use of accelerometers and load cells integrated into the pantograph.
• Electric Arc Detection
  Real-time monitoring system registering and evaluating electric arcs occurring between the wire and the pantograph by means of key parameters evaluation.
• Contact Wire Thermal Scanning
  Thermal imaging scanner able to minimize unscheduled breakdowns of all electrical and mechanical equipment in a overhead line plant.
• Pole Detection
  System detects the exact position of poles by means of two acquisition units mounted side by side on the inspection car‘s rooftop. Each unit comprises two distance measurement systems with the beams directing vertically upwards.
