    (Львовский политехнический национальный университет, Львів, 2020) Ustymenko, Dmytro V.; Kuznetsov, Vitaliy; Marenych, Oksana L.; Kovzel, Maksim; Mukha, Andrii M.; Sinkevych, Oleksiy; Tryputen, Mykola; Al Said Ahmad, Mohammad Ahmad Diab
    ENG: The features of the thermal state of the current collection unit «contact wire – contact insert of the current collector» in the conditions of preparation of electric rolling stock for the journey are considered. As part of the study, a methodology has been developed for estimating the heating temperature of the power sliding contact zone in the conditions of train preparation for journey. Application of the method will help to reduce the number of «burnouts» of the contact wire due to the exact selection of the heating/cooling time of the train for a certain heating/conditioning current when preparing the electric rolling stock for the journey. It was established that the cause of the «burns» of the contact wire in the parking lots when preparing the train dispatch is the excess of the permissible temperature of the power sliding contact as a result of the prolonged action of the heating/conditioning current. The standard approach for determining the duration of heating is based on the average values of the loads on the system and therefore does not take into account some factors, for example, the state of the contact wire, the state of the contact insert of the current collector, the number of cars in the train, and so on. The proposed technique is based on the classical theory of electrical contact and the theory of heating a homogeneous body, which makes it possible to accurately assess the thermal state of the power sliding contact and convenient enough for use in operating conditions. The results of the work are of practical value, since the technology of preparing a train for dispatch can be supplemented by calculating the contact temperature «contact wire element – contact insert element» in accordance with the proposed methodology. This will allow for a specific train in specific conditions to apply a set of measures to prevent «burnout» of the contact wire in the event of a possible temperature exceeding the permissible value.

    Experimental Investigation of Actual Stuation of using and Accounting of Recovered Energy of Regenerative Braking Mode at the DC Traction System
    (Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Bondar, Oleh I.; Ustymenko, Dmytro V.; Kurylenko, Olena Ya.; Kedria, Mykhailo M.; Karzova, Oksana O.; Krasnov, Roman V.; Baliichuk, Oleksii Yu.
    ENG: Abstract. This paper deals with the problems of enhancement of registration and distribution of electric energy which can be obtained from DC electric locomotives by the regenerative braking. According to theoretical researches, it is possible to return approximately 8 - 12% of electric energy which is consumed for electric traction by using of a regenerative braking mode. However in recent years for electric traction networks of JSC “Ukrainian Railways”, this index doesn't exceed 2.6%. So we consider that the regenerative braking is one of the most prospective ways for energy saving in electric railway transport. Results of the experimental researches which were executed on DC traction substations and VL11M6 electric locomotives are described in this paper. Instantaneous values of voltage and current in different modes have been obtained. The electric energy balance for experimental zone has been performed. Also the ways of distribution and consumption of energy of regenerative braking mode have been analyzed. On this basis of the executed investigations, recommendations about providing of supercapacitor energy storage system for Ukrainian railways are proposed.

    Influence of Contactor Contact Pressure in Power Circuits of Electric Stock on their Plastic Deformation and Fusing
    (Дніпропетровський національний університет залізничного транспорту імені академіка В. Лазаряна, Дніпро, 2017) Baliichuk, Oleksii Yu.; Dubynets, Leonid V.; Marenych, Oksana L.; Ustymenko, Dmytro V.
    ENG: Purpose. The work is aimed at conducting the study to obtain the results that will quantify the influence of contactor contact pressure in power circuits of electric stock on the highest current value d I , that does not cause plastic deformation of contacts; and on the current value fs I – incipient fusion of contacts taking into account the operation conditions. Therefore, such a study targeted to establish the contact fusing causes is relevant. Methodology. The paper proposes an engineering method for determining the currents d I and fs I , taking into account the value of contact pressure, electrodynamic forces of contact repulsion e.d.r F , as well as the pressure influence on the values of such forces. Findings. Taking the contactors 1SVAD8 (locomotive ChS8) and 7SP1 (locomotive ChS4) as an example, the authors conducted the calculations and found that the peak pressure force increases the currents d I and fs I for these contactors by 11.8%; 15.5%; 11.8%; and 15.4% respectively (compared with the specified currents at the minimum pressure force). Influenced by e.d.r F the pressure force of contacts for 1SVAD8 contactor decreased by 13.8…31.8%, and for 7SP1contactor the value e.d.r F may be greater than the pressure force. This can lead to spontaneous shutdown of the closed contactor that is not provided by the control circuit. Ensuring during operation the maximum allowable pressure force of the contacts c F slightly affects the value e.d.r F, compared with the case when c F has the minimum permissible value (in event of a fault in the heating circuit e.d.r F for contactors 1SVAD8 and 7SP1 is reduced by only 2.45% and 2.59% respectively). Originality. The authors for the first time presented a quantitative assessment of influence of contactor contact pressure in power circuits of electric stock on their plastic deformation and fusing using the proposed engineering method. Practical value. The results obtained during the research allow solving the problem for developing measures aimed to improve the reliability of the heating circuits of electric locomotives ChS8 and ChS4. The proposed method of determining d I and fs I can be used to quantify the influence of pressure of the main electric contacts mounted in power circuits of electric stock of all series, if during the operation there are cases of plastic deformation, fusing, welding of such contacts, in order to improve the reliability of power circuits.

    Nanostructures in the Formation of the Properties of High-Current Sliding Electrical Contacts on the Electric Rolling Stock
    (Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2019) Ustymenko, Dmytro V.; Mukha, Andrii M.; Baliichuk, Oleksii Yu.; Kurylenko, Olena Ya.; Romanov, Serhii; Sabiev, Tamerlan
    ENG: The paper presents the results of bench tests of wear resistance of contact inserts of current collector runners made of «ROMANIT-UVLSh» material and their effect on the wear of the copper contact wire is evaluated. This material is a composite with a high content of electrically conductive lubricants capable of forming a thin conductive transition layer in a friction pair. Low temperature in the contact zone, indirectly, indicates a low transition resistance and high energy performance of the sliding contact, and low wear of the contact wire confirms its high tribological and mechanical properties. The use of contact inserts runner’s current collectors made from this material is possible, both in alternating and direct current and can provide higher technical and economic indicators in comparison with traditional materials.

    Physico-Technological Aspects of Work of Lubricant Films in the Tribosystem «Overhead Line-Current Collector Contact Sstrip»
    (Дніпропетровський національний університет залізничного транспорту ім. акад. В. Лазаряна, Дніпро, 2018) Ustymenko, Dmytro V.
    ENG: Purpose. The article aimed at comprehensive analysis of the processes occurring in the lubricant films of the friction surfaces of the tribosystem «overhead line – current collector contact strip» (OLCCCS) and identification of the features of such systems. Methodology. The systematic analysis was used as the main methodology for studying the physico-technological aspects of work of the lubricant films in the tribosystem «overhead line – current collector contact strip». Findings. The theory of electro-friction interaction is now at such a stage that is characterized by a large amount of accumulated empirical data, hypotheses and models that cannot adequately represent phenomena in a sliding, high-current electrical contact. The sliding electrical contact of the tribosystem «overhead line – current collector contact strip» during the operation is affected by many factors, one of which is the processes in the lubricating layers of the friction pair. The work leads to a new level of understanding of the peculiarities of the processes occurring in the lubricating layers and their effect on the work of a sliding, high-current electrical contact, which can become the guarantee of significant increase in the efficiency of such systems and, as a consequence, substantially increase the reliability and safety of the work of the electric stock. Originality. It is proposed to consider the processes of electro-friction interaction of electrical contacts from the position of synergy using the theory of fractals as the core one for the quantitative description of self-organizing structures. Practical value. Taking into account the empirical experience of operation of the tribosystem «overhead line – current collector contact strip» in combination with theoretical knowledge allows us to propose three possible directions for solving tribological problems in high-current sliding electrical contacts. They are: 1) change in contact geometry and surface topography, for example, the use of regular macrorelief of contact surfaces; 2) development of conductive composites which are characterised with self-lubrication, for example the use of composite materials containing solid conductive lubricants; 3) devel-opment of effective lubricants for electric high-current sliding contacts, which may require some complication of the component design.
