      <title>AMPLIFICATION OF THE POWER SUPPLYING SYSTEMS AND OPERATION OF PROTECTIVE SYSTEMS IN AUTOMATION AND TELEMECHANICS FROM THE BOOKLET ELECTRIFICATION AND ENERGY SYSTEMS NO. 3 (83)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/36685</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report consists of eight studies. (1) "Reinforcement of energy feeding arrangements" describes the experiments in this area carried out on the East-Siberian road.  (2) "Protection of the catenary network during direct current section reinforcement" covers problems of the catenary network concerned with increase in loads and reliability requirements for the energy supply arrrangements, as well as the need for estimating recuperative currents during the choice of protective settings.  Included are descriptions of new sectioning post arrangements and forms of protection employed on the East-Siberian road.  (3) Areas of utilization and operational experience of linear capacitance compensation in alternating current tractive networks": possible variations of switching on the linear capacitance compensation in A.C. current tractive network with 27.5 kV. tension, and influence of these variations on substation tractive busbars.  On the basis of research and operational experience it is determined that the most rational utilization areas are in energy feeding arrangements of feeder cable sections and optimization of operating conditions of the tractive networks.  (4) "Arrangements of linear capacitance compensation in A.C. tractive networks"; parameters and definition of fundamental elements as employed on tractive substations and sectioning posts of principle linear capacitance compensation circuits.  (5) "Linear capacitance compensation protection and automatics" presents reworked and installed unbalanced voltage protection of high sensitivity power capacitors; by-pass apparatus utilizing fast-acting VAB-28 circuit breakers on the short circuit principle, and a system of control, automatics, and linear capacitance compensation protection. (6) "Operation of parallel compensation arrangements" covers protection from commutational overloads and presents methods for driving the reactor.  (7) "Some results of adjustment and operation of automatic blocking arrangements and electronic protection of feeders".  (8) "Remote control of energy feeding objectives along the line of energy dispatching" shows characteristics of apparatus for remote control of stations, sectioning posts, and parallel junction points, including emergency signal transmission.]]></description>

      <title>PROGRESSIVE MAINTENANCE METHODS AND EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY EVALUATION OF THE TRACTIVE SUBSTATIONS. CURRENT HARMONIC LIMITATION IS PARALLEL COMPENSATION SYSTEMS FROM THE BOOKLET ELECTRIFICATION AND ENERGY SYSTEMS NO. 5 (85)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/36686</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This issue expounds upon the experimental research on the energy-feeding section relative to maintenance methods of th tractive substations carried out by the operational maintenance personnel; maintenance organization of the tractive substations is done by means of interconnecting and complex methods.  In addition, the experimental work carried out on the Kranolimarsk energy feeding section of the Donec road according to standardized instructions is summarized. An estimate of the reliabiity of the tractive substation network is given, and methods for limiting the harmonic curve of the current of the parallel compensation mechanisms are enumerated.  An objective analysis of the functional components of the tractive substation system is given. Special attention is paid to an evaluation of the feeder contact breaker operations.  The operation of the parallel capacitance compensation mechanisms with aproximately 150 hertz frequency tuning in the presence of the third harmonic curve under an external energy supply system current is described.  Finally, the study reveals methods employed upon the Gor'kovskii road for the definition of the frequency tuning of parallel capacitance compensation mechanisms being utilized in the presence of certain useful power and parameter conditions of the third harmonic tension curve.]]></description>

      <title>AMPLIFICATION OF THE CATENARY NETWORK DURING PASSAGE OF UNIT TRAINS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/36722</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The traffic of unit trains on electrified sections is limited above all by the heating up of the leads of the catenary suspension.  The temperature of heating is defined as the sum of the temperatures of the aerial environment and the overheating of the lead caused by currents of the charge.  The most difficult conditions for heating up of the leads arise with the conjunction of the maximal temperature of the surrounding environment and the minimal speed of the wind.  On the basis of an analysis of the maximal temperature of the aerial environment and the minimal wind speed for a ten year period for the Trans-Siberian main line from Novosibirsk-Chelyabinsk-Moscow there was obtained an estimated air temperature in the summer period of +35 degrees C. at minimal wind speed I m./s.  Dependences obtained on the basis of calculations of heat characteristics allow the choosing of optimal distances between the electrical junctions according to the criterion of the best utilization of the profile of all leads of the chain suspension.  The choice of the indicated distance is carried out in coordination with the current of the hourly operating mode of the electrical trains being handled on that section.]]></description>
