Organization of Efficient Power Supply for the Railway Crossing Signaling System

Abstract

This article discusses a comprehensive power supply system for devices of crossing signaling equipment or semi-automatic blocking of a crossing complex is regarded in the article. On a site equipped with auto-locks or centralized dispatching, devices of mobile devices of signaling equipment are powered by a high-voltage signaling line. To organize the power supply of auto-barrier devices or traffic light lamps for vehicles, redundant battery power systems are provided. In case of semiautomatic interlocks, the station device receives power from the same source as either the automatic blocking device or centralized dispatching devices, as well as from local power sources - 10 kV power lines or existing 380/220 networks B, networks through which electricity is supplied to consumers of at least category II.
