CUSTOMERS PAGE 26 Electric rail vehicles must never lose contact with the power supply, not even at the highest speeds. But the complex interactions with the overhead con- tact line pose an enormous challenge for the calibration of pantographs. The Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and Siemens are therefore working on a new kind of test bench in order to transfer parts of the usual test runs to the lab.
