NETWORK RAIL TIER 1 & 2 TRIALS FOR BENDER RAIL SIGNALLING POWER SYSTEM

摘要

The RS4 system has already received full Network Rail approval for Tier 3 installations that deliver increased sensitivity for first fault location and remote condition monitoring to identify core-to-earth failure of rail signalling IT power systems. RS4 delivers continuous monitoring and analysis capabilities unachievable with previous technology. Insulation monitoring combines with an integrated fault locating current injector, pinpointing fault locations on miles of networked cables. The system is the simplest and most cost-effective method for upgrading earlier generation RS2/RS3 technology installed on the rail network. The Network Rail certificate of acceptance (PA05/04750) allows trials of Tier 1 and Tier 2 RS4 with trackside power distribution systems up to 650V AC, Signal Power monitoring, Points Systems monitoring and Level Crossing Systems monitoring. Numerous Tier 1 and 2 trials are already underway at Brighton and Beeston, Nottingham, Brockley Whins and Harpenden, along with other East-West and Scottish routes.
