Abstract

The large differentiation in the quality of the electrotraction devices insulation causes the advisability of using another kind of surge protection for every type of these devices. This also permits the independent working out of the catenary protection problems, the substation or the rolling stock. In the present situation to the relation of the installation of new computer devices in the railway which often are subjected to damage caused by atmospherical surges, the analysis of the catenary protection against surges is advisable. In the report, chosen results of the horn gap arresters modelling implemented into the circuit taking into account the real section model of the track containing models of towers, insulators, contact line, rail return, rails and stroke sources are represented. In the analysis, the results are collected for this purpose for many years—exploitation research and measurements were taken into account.
