Time length of pantograph-catenary disconnection has a great influence on current-receiving quality of high-speed railway
currently the disconnection time is divided mainly according to the operation and management experience
there is no theoretical analysis. Based on the field test data and MATLAB simulation software
this paper establishes a simulation model including pantograph-catenary disconnection arc and traction converter
and analyzes the overvoltage of pantograph-catenary disconnection arc and the impact of pantograph-catenary disconnection on DC-link voltage of traction converter. The results show that both pantograph-catenary disconnection and recovery process have about 1.3 times overvoltage and with a lot of harmonic feedback to catenary; the DC-link voltage drop speed of traction converter increases exponentially with the increase of train speed
the voltage drop time of 1 000 V has been reduced to less than 100 ms when traveling speed above 250 km/h; under the same disconnection time
the greater the train speed
the greater the DC-link voltage surge and shock during the pantograph-catenary recovery.Above conclusions shows that the division of disconnection time should consider the influence of train speed
the higher the speed
the disconnection time should be more strictly limit
