Methods and tools for balanced current reduction at alternative current electrified railways
The problem of balanced currents (BC) occurrence in case of the duplicate power supply of alternative current electrified railways is considered. By the example of the zone between substations Anisimovka - Fridman, the BC problem relevancy is shown for the Far Eastern Railway. The main causes of the BC occurrence in the traction energy system are presented. The information for comparison of the two variants of the balanced current determination in the electric traction network is given. The tools and methods for the BC reduction were analyzed. The domestic experience of the boosting transformers application as a tool for the BC reduction is described.
