Abstract
The partitioning of railroads electrified on dc is done with the help of insulating air gaps (IAGs). When the pantograph collector of an electric locomotive crosses the branches of an IAG, an increment in current occurs in the feeder of the traction network entered by the electric locomotive. In these cases, the nonselective operation of a high-speed circuit breaker (HSCB) results in its false response, disconnection of the traction network power supply area, and, ultimately, stops the train. To preserve the reaction of the protection to a remote short-circuit and avoid false tripping in circuit-breakers, an interlocking circuit is proposed that prevents the tripping of HSCBs of adjacent dc traction network feeders at an instantaneous increment in current.
