Abstract

A two‐dimensional electromagnetic field model of a railway track and traction line is used to determine the equivalent track distributed transmission line parameters in the frequency range DC to 30kHz. The model is solved using the finite‐element method to find the minimum energy condition for two conditions: current excitation to obtain the resistance and inductance, and voltage excitation for the conductance and capacitance. The results have been confirmed using practical test data, and their application is illustrated in a time‐domain circuit simulation to model interference between power and signalling currents in a 750V DC electric railway.
