Measurement of Mechanical Braking Force for KHST
한국형 고속전철의 기계 제동력 측정 방법
- Published : 2003.05.01
Abstract
Korean high speed train (KHST) has adopted a combined electric/ mechanic (friction) braking system. Electric brakes are consist of rheostatic brake, regenerative brake and eddy current brake and mechanical brakes are composed of disc brake, wheel disc brake and tread brake. In this paper, we introduce the braking performance test and the measuring method of mechanical brake. And disc brake performance has been reviewed by the experimental method. The on-line test of KHST has been carried out up to 260 km/h and proved that the disc braking capacity of KHST is sufficient.
