The Electromagnetic Compatibility in Researches of Railway Traffic Control Devices

Abstract

Using modern electronic devices in the railway extorts the necessity of complying the rules of coexistence of these devices in an electromagnetic environment in compliance with rules of the electromagnetic compatibility. Performing researches of railway devices in the range of electromagnetic compatibility is essential not only because of the negative influence on the railway traffic controlling devices, but also there can be an influence on the safety of devices and systems of public use. This results from the mutual coexistence of public objects like individual houses or huge commercial galleries full with systems and electronic devices. They are often found in the zone of the rolling stock influence. In the report, main sources of electromagnetic disturbances in the railway area and ways of their measurement are represented.
