ABSTRACT:
The distribution coefficient of return current network is
an important method to decrease the rail potential. In order to resolve the
problem of high rail potential in high-speed railway based on EN50122-1 and Pr
EN50170 the distribution coefficient of longitudinal traction return current conductors
is calculated through changing the interval of transverse connection. Based on
field data and theoretical analysis, the parameters of longitudinal traction
return current conductors are calculated. Results indicate that the best
distance of the transverse connection is 400 m –
600 m.
