Parametric Stray Current Monitoring and Mitigation for Electric Rail Stray Current
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Built in several stages over 20 years, the electric rail system in Portland, Oregon is varied in construction design and materials and presents a range of stray current conditions. The rail system is proximate to water supply mains, distribution mains, and services also constructed with varied materials and methods. This paper presents a parametric approach that characterizes stray current mechanisms, the magnitude of stray current effects, and the sensitivity of differing design and construction methods in mitigating stray current.
