Technology Research on Rail Potential Limit of Urban Rail Transit

open access: yes, 2018
The OVPD device is an important component of the protective equipment in the power supply system of urban rail transit. Basic principle of rail potential limiting protection for urban rail transit was analyzed, and a new type of rail potential limiter for urban rail transit was designed, which provided the basis for the selection of the thyristor of ...
