For overhead contact lines to run trains at 160 to 200km/h operation, we examined wire rods suitable for ecomaterialsization and devised the overhead contact lines. We performed computer simulation of the overhead contact line for the current capacity and current-collection characteristics. We also tested the current-collection characteristics of the contact line on the current-collection testing machine of RTRI. Consequently, it is proved that the contact line can be used for practical use.
