Introduction

dominant, with the proportion of internal to loop resistance reducing to 98% at lokHz [19]. The loop inductance
contains a si&icant internal contribution at all frequencies of interest in traction, the internaVloop inductance
ratio being 39% at lOHz and 8.6% at lOkHz [19].
Internal impedance measurements as functions of current
and frequency have been reported in [13, 171. Accurate
measurements are possible only if the magnetic effect of the
return current is neutralised by appropriate placing of the
return conductor for the test current. This was not achieved
in [17], the results of whlch are claimed accurate to 9% for
resistance and 18% for inductance.
An analytical external impedance model considering the
system geometry is also given in [17]. Although it appears
to be of some use for estimation of traction fault currents,
and can be considered fairly accurate for the case of equal
rail current, it does not consider the earth-return effect
inherent in the MTL model. For unbalanced conditions, an
approximate method is described whch apportions the
loop impedances between rails, ignoring the contribution of
internal impedance.

3.2.3 Solution time and convergence: The incorporation of magnetic nonlinearity into the FE model is at the
expense of degraded computational time and convergence.
Tests with models between 15k-80k elements showed that
with 21 k, the computation time required was 570s using a
128 Mbyte HP Apollo Series 715 workstation.
3.2.4 Electromagnetic field results: Figs. 8 and 9
give sample magnetic potential vector plots for CM and
DM excitation on the running rails of a single track, using
realistic values of frequency, ballast and ground conductivity.

At low frequencies the internal impedance forms a significant proportion of the self impedance. Mutual impedance
is, as expected, independent of current.
Figs. 14 and 15 show rail internal impedance from FE
using a B-H curve that models saturation to a high accuracy [2]. At low currents, the impedance is insensitive to
current magnitude. A large variation occurs corresponding
to the onset of saturation, followed by little change with
very high currents.

5. I Carson-Pollaczek equations
Analytical modelling of the external and mutual impedances using Carson's equations is straightforward for single-layer ground. Table 3 shows the deviation between FE
and Carson calculated results with the assumption of magnetically linear rail iron. The maximum deviation is in the
region of 6%.
