CALCULATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE CURRENT AND VOLTAGE IN THE RAIL NETWORKS OF D.C. TRACKS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT GROUND LEAKAGE

DIE BERECHNUNG DER STROM- UND SPANNUNGSVERTEILUNG IN SCHIENENNETZEN VON GLEICHSTROMBAHNEN MIT BERUECKSICHTIGUNG DER ABLEITUNG GEGEN ERDE

The problem of calculation is considered under conditions of uniform load. After constructing basic equations for single tracks it is shown that in arbitrarily intertwined networks there exist linear dependences between the junction voltages and the currents at the track ends, although the distribution of the current and voltage within individual tracks can be described only by means of considerably complicated functions. A method is indicated how the extensive calculation work can be solved by means of a computer program.
