STANDING TEST OF EDDY CURRENT RAIL BRAKE SET TO A NEW TEST ELECTRIC CAR

To strengthen the braking force of the car at higher speed newly developed eddy current rail brakes (ECB) were tested in standing conditions with use of a new test electric car. Following items were studied in the test. (a) flux intensity of pole, (b) vertical displacement of exciting ECB, (c) displacement and strain of track and turnout, (d) distribution and effect of flux near ECB, (e) magnetization of rail.
