MODERN PROTECTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR THE WEST GERMAN RAILROAD SYSTEM

MODERNE SCHUTZTECHNIK BEI DER DEUTSCHEN BUNDESBAHN

The increase of the performance of electric tractive units within the last two decades has also resulted in a constant increase of the requirements on the overhead contact line protection system. The protection components resulting from this are described. The transition from the classic to the electronic protection system is outlined. The author presents arguments, from the technical and financial point of view, for this decision, which includes also advantages associated with working and medical conditions.
