To provide a new
system for protecting a wayside apparatus, a
remote power supply facility connected to the wayside apparatus, and other apparatuses from a ground fault.SOLUTION: The present disclosure provides, as an example, a railway facility
protection system that protects a railway facility from a ground fault, the railway facility
protection system including a power protector that is connected to the railway facility and suppresses a
voltage rise due to the ground fault to a predetermined value, an
isolation transformer that is provided between a power supply facility that supplies an
AC power supply to the railway facility and the railway facility, and a
control circuit that is provided between a
control line of the railway facility and a Class A ground of the railway facility, proposed is a railway equipment
protection system including a first protector that discharges by application of a
voltage of a predetermined value suppressed by a power protector, a
resistor provided in a
control line, a fuse provided in a subsequent stage of the
resistor, and a second protector that is provided between the subsequent stage of the fuse and a distant ground provided apart from a class A ground by a predetermined distance or more and discharges by application of the
voltage of the predetermined value suppressed by the power protector.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
