The general structure of the electric traction system highlights the complexity and diversity of electrical equipment from the power supply. The return circuit, part of electric traction railway, consists of the running rails, the joint coils and the return feeder to the traction substation. Monitoring of the electrical equipment, existent in the electric traction railway, is a newest concept. The...
The paper aim is to analyze the way in which the electrical load influences the infrared thermal images of the thermal stresses of electrical equipment determined by using infrared thermography devices. In order to obtain a reliable result of the infrared investigations several conditions must be accomplished, such as good definition of the correction parameters and choosing the optimal environmental...
This paper aims to presents an overview of electrical contact resistance. The electrical contacts are important elements which can be found on all of the electrical installations from the power source to the consumer. The presence of an electrical contact on a current path always introduces an additional electrical resistance, named contact resistance. After an overview of the role of the contacts...
The traction current is returning to the supply source crossing the return circuit to the 25 kV single-phase AC power source. The return circuit consists of the running rails, which are connected by conductors to the joint coils terminals, and the return feeder to the traction substation. The connecting conductors (connection ropes) are subjected to thermal stresses due to the intense currents which...
The paper presents an impact analysis of the thermal stresses of electrical equipment impact on the environment temperature. To accomplish this were determined the steady-state overtemperatures and thermal time constants for three different sections of a busbar system, from a low voltage electric switchboard, in order to determine the thermal stresses for each case. To see how much the value of thermal...
