Stray Current Analysis

CORROSION 1969, 1969
Stray currents are one of the corrosion engineer’s more serious problems; not so much from the point of view of difficulties encountered in the solution of the problem, but from the point of view of the damages they can cause. From Faraday’s Law, we know that one ampere for one year will remove approximately 20 lbs of steel and experience shows stray ...

Stray Current Aspects of Bart

CORROSION 1974, 1974
Many people are watching the startup of the 75 mile BART d-c powered transit system, and no one has taken a keener interest in BART operations than the owners of underground structures. This paper is divided in five parts each of which discusses effects of BART operation on a particular type of underground facility.

STRAY CURRENT CORROSION OF STEEL

Naval Engineers Journal, 1976
ABSTRACTStray current corrosion has been of major concern to the Navy over the past few years. Serious corrosion attributable to stray current has occurred in seawater or brackish water on several occasions where the possibility of the corrosion having resulted from improper grounding during welding was precluded.

Stray Current Corrosion-Steel

CORROSION 1974, 1974
Several incidences of severe corrosion on naval ship hulls have occurred recently. The possibility of the corrosion being caused by improper grounding during welding has been eliminated in at least some of these cases. However, the source of the currents in many instances has not been established. Field studies have been made in which the recorded hull

Outline of Stray Current Electrolysis

Journal AWWA, 1934
The various terms in modern usage in the numerous branches of electrical phenomena are all derived from "electron" which is the Greek word for amber. This seemingly peculiar selection of a term so foreign to the thing which it designates came about through the observation of Thaies, (600 B.C.) that amber when rubbed with some other substance displayed ...

Introduction: the History of Stray Current

CORROSION 1982, 1982
The first electric powered railcar ran in the early 1800's, but it wasn't until 1891 that traction stray current was recognized as a cause of corrosion. A resurgence in rapid transit construction brings a new interest in stray current corrosion mitigation. The proper design of new systems can virtually eliminate stray current.

BART Stray Current Mitigation

CORROSION 1980, 1980
The control of stray earth current associated with dc transit system operation has a long history (1) and during the design and start up of the BART system the problem of stray current was recognized. Some features of the BART system design such as grade separated right of way, regenerative braking and well-insulated rail mounting developed at BART ...

Bart Stray Current Prevention

CORROSION 1994, 1994
Abstract BART is a dc-powered transit system that uses its running rails for traction-current negative return. The use of the running rails as part of the electrical-traction circuit presents the engineer with two conflicting electrical requirements.
