Railway High Voltage Impulse Track Circuit
Railway High Voltage Impulse Track Circuit JEUMONT TRACK CIRCUIT
- Ensures correct shunting even on tracks where rust, scale, coal dust, or sand contaminating the rail surface
- High voltage pulses of short duration separated by long intervals
1. To break down semi-insulating surfaces of the rail on occupation
2. Power drawn is much lower due to long intervals
3. Can be felt but not dangerous
4. Adjacent track circuits are separated by means of BJs in the normal way
- Two matching transformers, one at the Tx end & one at Rx end are to be used in non-electrified lines & electrified lines using single rail traction return
- Impedance bonds are used to match in double rail traction return
