The Working Principle of Yonggui Electric's Pantograph

Contact Mechanism: The pantograph on train is mounted on the roof of the train and equipped with a contact strip that presses against the overhead catenary wire. This ensures continuous electrical contact during operation.  


Spring or Pneumatic Tension: The electric pantograph uses spring or pneumatic tension to maintain consistent pressure against the wire. This mechanism absorbs vibrations and ensures reliable contact, even at high speeds or during rapid accelerations and decelerations.


Current Collection: Electricity flows from the overhead wire through the pantograph on train and into the train's electrical system. This powers traction motors, lighting, air conditioning, and other onboard systems.


Self-Adjusting Feature: Understanding how a pantograph works is key to appreciating Yonggui Electric's innovative design. As one of leading pantograph suppliers, Yonggui Electricis' modern pantograph on train is designed to adjust their height dynamically, compensating for variations in the catenary wire's height caused by terrain or installation tolerances.


The Application of Yonggui Electric's Pantograph

The pantograph on train from Yonggui Electricis an essential component for electric vehicles, particularly in rail transit systems such as EV buses, trams, and high-speed trains. Its primary function is to transfer electricity from overhead lines to the train's electrical systems, enabling seamless operation without the need for onboard fuel sources. The pantograph application extends across diverse rail systems, ensuring reliable power delivery for urban and high-speed transit, as demonstrated by Yonggui Electric's advanced designs tailored for efficiency and durability.
