The operation of KTX in Korea has launched since 2004, which brought about a great change in railroad industry. We have acquired lots of great know-hows, especially in railroad construction and operation field. Therefore, we have been building up numerous operation skills until now. However, it was necessary to investigate some of the equipment based on our own environment because the high speed train system were totally imported. In case of Toughened Glass Stem Insulator, it was totally new type in domestic. This paper introduces estimation method and result in three different field aspect, such as an electrical field, a physical field, and environmental circumstances. First, in case of an electrical field, amplitude and a number of time for switching surge voltage data were collected. Second, in case of a physical field, amplitude and trend of vibration in to the insulator were examined. Finally, in case of environmental circumstances, flying possibility of gravel and ice clod were investigated. Also shrink and expend characteristic according to temperature were reviewed. Through this basic data, suitability for Toughened Glass Stem Insulator using in domestic high speed railway have been accumulated and estimated.
고속철도의 전차선로에 사용되는 유리애자는 국내에 적용 사례가 없으며 해외에서도 프랑스를 중심으로 한 정적으로 적용되는 품목으로서 국내 적용시 특성분석을 통한 적합성 평가가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 2004년 이후 운영데이터를 바탕으로 유리애자의 현장 적합성을 평가하기 위해 전기적, 기계적, 외부적(환경) 요인의 3가지 대항목을 선정하여 분야별로 특성 분석을 수행하여 기초데이터를 축적하고 적합성을 평가하였다.
