Abstract

This article addresses the problem of the contact voltage increase caused by the low-frequency oscillation of the train-grid system in the phase-separation process of EMUs. The article establishes the EMU-contact line-traction substation model, reveals the mechanism of low-frequency oscillation, and ascertains the relationship between the phase angle when the pantograph leaves the line, and low-frequency oscillations. Methods to suppress overvoltage during the low-frequency oscillation are proposed. The research indicated that a significant voltage amplitude was observed in the neutral zone, when the phase angle of the pantograph to the contact line separation power supply fell within the range of 60–90° and 240–270°. The maximum voltage amplitude reached 69.75 kV, and there was an occurrence of low-frequency oscillation in the neutral zone, where electrical phase separation takes place. During this oscillation, the voltage of the contact network in the neutral zone mainly operated at one-third of the power frequency (16.7 Hz). However, after installing an RC suppression device in the neutral zone, when low-frequency oscillation occurred, the absolute value of the peak voltage dropped below 37 kV as soon as the EMU entered electric phase separation. Furthermore, compared to situations without a connected suppression device, there was nearly a 30% reduction in the absolute value of the peak voltage. The study provides a basis for the design of the neutral zone of the contact line, and the selection of high-voltage equipment for the EMU.
