Day one - 19 November 2024
08:50 | Welcome/icebreaker |
09:00 | Protection Against Electric Shock Sarah Dale , Technical Principal - Traction Power, Mott Macdonald |
10:00 | Case study 1 - Multiconductor modelling to assure the safety and reliability of HS2. Overview of the application of integrated multiconductor simulation to demonstrate E&B and EMC compliance of an electrified railway. It will be shown how models incorporating the traction return circuit and common earth system, longitudinal civils assets, and command and control systems cables can be used to verify the system will comply with touch voltage and induced voltage limits.
