METHOD FOR TESTING PANTOGRAPH WEARING STRIPS AND PANTOGRAPH WEARING STRIP UNDER TEST

The invention relates to a method for testing pantograph wearing strips for supplying power to vehicles by means of an overhead wire with a pantograph wearing strip (18), and also to a pantograph wearing strip under test, wherein the pantograph wearing strip under test which is formed from carbon material is arranged transversely relative to a direction of travel of a vehicle, is in contact with an overhead wire (20) and is moved along the overhead wire in the direction of travel, wherein, during the movement, wear of carbon material of the pantograph wearing strip under test takes place froma contact region (19) of the pantograph wearing strip under test, wherein wear of carbon material takes place from a test section (22), which is related to a length (L) of the pantograph wearing stripunder test, and a comparison section (23) of the contact region, which regions differ from one another in respect of their structural design. 本发明涉及一种用于借助于接触条试样(18)来测试用于经由接触线向车辆供电的接触条的方法，并且涉及一种接触条试样，由碳材料制成的所述接触条试样被布置为相对于车辆的行进方
