Abstract
A power line coupler that can apply high-frequency power to a railway overhead line structure was analyzed. It is difficult to supply auxiliary power to an overhead line in a high-voltage environment, and doing so requires a long-distance transfer. A method is proposed that utilizes the resonance on the Rogowski coil, which does not use a magnetic core. A simple overhead line structure was fabricated that consisted of a contact wire, messenger wire, and dropper. Couplers of various sizes were fabricated and deployed on the messenger wire, and the transfer characteristics of the two couplers were compared at a distance. As a result of applying the matching circuit to the coupler, the transmission efficiency was 53% at a distance of 2.5 m. The proposed method shows that it is possible to apply the auxiliary power by using the existing conductor in a special structure, such as the overhead line.
