However, locatg this power supply system is more complicated than or configurations electrical railway power supply due to stallation throughout le section. In previous papers, authors have described a location method with an significant stallation cost. The method, moreover, location discrimate wher is located a positive conductor or a negative conductor. The current high-speed tra fluences accuracy location. An additional factor which fluences location method is existence an arc resistance positive or negative conductor. In this paper, fluence high-speed tra currents arc resistances are analysed to evaluate error location method. The major conclusion paper is that location method has an acceptable precision even takg to consideration high-speed tra current arc resistance. The validation method has been performed by laboratory tests computer simulations with satisfactory results. Keywords: electrical protection; s; location; railways power system; 2 25 kv 1. Introduction High-speed tras are one more effective faster modes transport medium big cities with distances range 6 km. To supply high power dem se tras, a 2 25 kv AC power supply system is used, due to advantages providg high power with lower currents fewer traction substations on le [1]. In a 2 25 kv supply system, power le is supplied by some traction substations (TSs). Each substation feeds two sections, one each direction, each section is formed by some subsections delimited by (ATs). At end each section, a fal autotransformer (SATS) is stalled. The 2 25 kv power supply systems have three conductors. The positive conductor (usually named as catenary) is at 25 kv AC voltage with a positive polarity from. The negative voltage conductor (usually named as feeder) is at 25 kv AC voltage with a negative polarity from. Fally, third conductor is rail, which is ed [2]. 1 displays Energies 218, 11, 161; doi:1.339/en

Conclusions In this paper, fluence tra circulation arc resistance on a novel method location for 2 25 kv traction power systems has been studied. The location system is based on measurement voltages currents compared to previous oretically calculated values. Previously, analysis phase angle voltages currents defes subsection conductor, catenary or feeder, where takes place. As tra circulation resistances modify oretically calculated current current values values, se se factors factors could could produce produce errors errors location location s. s. These fluences have been studiedby by computer simulations experimental tests tests laboratory. After numerous simulations, maximum error current does not reach 5%.
