Abstract

There are many DF railways on working in China now. When the locomotive passes, the tracktion current produces the potential along the rails. Usually, the potential of the raisl is low,about 20V. But the potential around the rails will reach too high to become a threat to men and animals nearby when the traction current rises on some bad condition. At the same time, the high potential may disturb the signal equipments around the rails. So this paper researchs the distrubiton of potential around the rails and the soil behind .
