Abstract:

A test program is defined for determining the failure modes and wear characteristics for brushes used to collect electrical power from the wayside for high speed tracked vehicles. Simulation of running conditions and the necessary instrumentation for monitoring brush behavior are discussed. Techniques for laboratory characterization of materials exposed to various wear conditions are also described.
