Measurement of Electromagnetic Radiation from Electric-Rail Cars

摘要

Existing Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards are not directly applicable for measuring Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from an electric-rail vehicle. This report describes a measurement system and procedure that have potential for making the needed improvements. This system and procedure need further evaluation, use, and improvement before they could be considered for general use. The problems that were considered are discussed, and those that need additional work are given. Sample measured data from a Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail car are given. The measurements were performed at the Department of Transportation Test Center near Pueblo, Colorado.
