IMPACT OF TRACTION CURRENT IN TRACKS AS RETURN CIRCUIT OF OVERHEAD CONTACT LINE ON TRACK CIRCUIT USED IN SIGNALLING AND SAFETY SYSTEMS

This work describes results of mathematical modelling, established at the Technical Faculty in Cacak which examined impact of return traction current through railway tracks on functioning of signalling and safety systems in track circuit. This mathematical model has been tested through experimenting in electrified tracks belonging to the Yugoslav Railways. It can be confirmed that it enables to define, in a reliable way, the level of disturbances of track circuit operation in a wide span in stationary regimes of work of single-phase electric tractive systems of 25 kV, 50 Hz. Due to the type of mathematical modelling, the results of this research are applicable to other electric tractive systems as well. For the covering abstract see ITRD E123713.
