SHORT-CIRCUIT DETECTION ON RATP LINES

After referring to the operation of the traction current supply and distribution equipment, the authors explain the methods adopted by the RATP to limit the consequences of a short-circuit on the traction newtwork. In particular, because of increasing traffic and the higher performance of trains, the technical department has designed a specially adapted electronic relay short-circuit detector which has been patented and is now installed on the different lines of the railway system (Metro and RER) as well as on certain foreign networks.
