Pantograph Arcing in DC Railway Systems: Transient Behavior of Voltage and Current Recorded at Pantograph

The overall accuracy associated with the provided data is 2%. The Dataset is arranged as follow: - Arcs in the Metro system - 1.5 kV DC - Arcs detected in a braking phase - Arcs detected in traction/ coasting phase - Arcs in the railway system - 3 kV DC - Arcs detected in a braking phase - Arcs detected in traction/ coasting phase The readme_Table.docx file provides information for the codification of the file names and a brief description for each event such as the corresponding train speed.

For each event data are provided both in binary format (.mat) and in Ascii format (.txt). Moreover, figures (.tif) provide a fast overview of each event. For the railway system, the events have been collected on-board the Trenitalia locomotive E464, characterized by a 6 MW rated power [G. Crotti et al., "Monitoring Energy and Power Quality On Board Train," doi: 10.1109/AMPS.2019.8897794].

For the metro system, the events have been collected on-board the Metro de Madrid rolling stock series 9000-3 operating on line 10B [G. Cipolletta et al., "Monitoring a DC Train Supplied by a Reversible Substation," presented at I2MTC 2020 May 25-29, 2020 Dubrovnik, Croatia].
