The paper aims to provide a waveform distortion assessment on pantograph current measurements. The data analyzed is regarding a 15 kV 16.7 Hz catenary system from Switzerland. The paper provides a characterization of the rolling stock emission content for different operation modes during a commercial utilization of the vehicle, approaching traditional harmonics, interharmonic and supraharmonic phenomena. In addition, the work provides an adaptation on the interharmonic processing proposed by the IEC 61000-4-7 regarding the 16.7 Hz fundamental frequency. The results contribute to the waveform distortion emission on pantograph measurements subject and railway systems investigation in general.
