Fault Analysis for Electric Railway System

전기철도 시스템의 사고 해석

This paper presents the modeling of grounding system on Korean electric railway system. The system model is composed of the catenary system, the grounding-system, the sub-sectioning post, the fault point, the sectioning post, the autotransformer in the substation, and the electric vehicle. The increment of rail-ground voltage may be thought as an amplifier of danger on human body of equipment insulation. The rail-ground voltage on steady state and on fault condition should be under standard limit voltage. To analyze grounding system for steady state and fault condition on Korean railway, modeling for each railway system is performed by 10-port network model. Modeling and analysis of present grounding-system are important to protect human and electronic equipments. The examinations for systematic grounding-system are investigated.
