APPLICATION OF THYRISTORS IN RAILWAY TECHNOLOGY: CONSEQUENCES AND REMEDIES. 1. TESTS TO COMPARE THYRISTOR-CONTROLLED TRACTIVE UNITS FOR 16-2/3 HZ ON THE SAME TEST TRACK

A comparison of the measured results which had been obtained from tests made with thyristor-controlled locomotives of about the same type showed variations in the interfering currents measured by some railway administrations (DB and SJ) which could not be explained as having been caused only by the connection for feeding the overhead contact system. After an adjusted measuring technique had not produced appreciable changes, it was held that the type and magnitude of the supplying overhead contact systems and high voltage systems exerted a certain effect on the interfering current.
