    Why Do Railroad Tracks Experience Voltage and Current from Nearby Power Lines?

    We use capacitor banks for our impedance matching and we have a power factor of .98 lagging to 1.00 unity between the 3 phases of 12 KV. Hard to get much closer...

    Why Do Railroad Tracks Experience Voltage and Current from Nearby Power Lines?

    I am measuring across the isolated section of track with a fluke 187 volt meter. I am using a jumper across the isolated section and using a clamp on amp probe to check current flow. The voltage and amps are on both tracks and only in the isolated section of the signal area. Checking to ground...

    Why Do Railroad Tracks Experience Voltage and Current from Nearby Power Lines?

    I have a parallel 69KV and 12KV line that runs parallel to a railroad track. Also, this system has a static on top for the system neutral. We are getting 20 plus volts and 4 amps on each track in an isolated section of track. We have deenergized the 12 kv and the volts and amps went away. The...
