Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of railway signals, and in particular relates to a lightning protection type compensation capacitor for railways. Background Art

[0002] In the ZPW.2000A non-insulated frequency-shift track circuit in the railway signal system, the rails are used as the transmission channel for information, and the transmission frequency is relatively high, which is a signal in the frequency range of 1700Hz to 2600Hz. When this signal is used on a line with domestic 60kg / m rails and a 1435mm track gauge, each meter of the line presents an inductance of about 1.4mH and a capacitance of only a few pico-farads. The rails are equivalent to an inductive load, showing a high inductive reactance, which causes the signal to decay quickly during transmission, affecting the transmission length of the track circuit. In order to make up for the lack of capacitance, offset the inductance of the rails, and make the track impedance as resistive as possible to ensure the transmission distance of the track circuit and the reliable operation of the locomotive signal system, the current method is to install capacitors in sections on the track circuit, which are called compensation capacitors based on their compensation function.

[0003] In the existing capacitor production technology, the cable is divided into 7 strands, which are directly welded to the gold-sprayed end face using tin soldering, and then both sides are filled with epoxy resin for sealing. The track compensation capacitor is in an open-air environment, especially in non-electrified sections, and is frequently subjected to voltage transients, surges and lightning impacts, but there are no good protective measures. High-voltage lightning breaks through the capacitor, causing the capacitor to short-circuit and display an abnormal red light band. This fault seriously affects the driving efficiency. For this reason, we propose a lightning protection compensation capacitor for railways. Utility Model Content
