AC ELECTRIFICATION--ITS EFFECT ON SIGNALLING AND COMMUNICATIONS

Electric traction systems cause problems in operating signalling and communications systems. Part 1 of the paper discusses railway signalling and the methods and techniques adopted to overcome interference. Part 2 discusses the mechanisms of coupling between the traction system and adjacent circuits and details specific action taken to minimize the effects of electromagnetic induction into communication circuits, with special reference to the effect of phase angle controlled traction units.
