Embodiment Construction
[0023] refer to figure 1 , depicts a vehicle 10 for operation on a railroad 12 .
[0024] Vehicle 10 is an electric train that includes at least one pantograph 14 for collecting electrical current from a power line 16 (also referred to as a catenary 16 ) of railroad 12 to power electric train 10 . For this purpose, the pantograph 14 comprises a pantograph head 14A intended to come into contact with and slide along the power line 16 . The pantograph 14 also includes an articulating rod 14B for supporting the pantograph head 14A. The articulating rod 14B acts as a spring for pressing the pantograph head 14A against the power line 16 .
[0025] For maintenance reasons, and in particular to detect defects in the power line 16 , it is important to monitor parameters indicative of the operational capability of said power line 16 . The parameter currently monitored is the force exerted by the pantograph 14 on the power line 16, which parameter can be deduced from the movement of t...
