Abstract: The 25 kV traction network creates highly intensive electromagnetic fields. These fields affect the long conductive structures located near railway lines and can induce voltage, posing a danger for maintenance personnel. Typical examples of such structures are pipelines, which are used to transport liquid and gaseous products. In addition to compromising electrical safety, the induced voltage can result in dangerous densities of corrosion currents in pipe insulation defects. Therefore, the determination of the induced voltage and current in the pipes is undoubtedly relevant. An analysis of existing literature on the electromagnetic compatibility of traction networks and pipelines indicates that important aspects regarding the effects of traction networks and high-voltage power lines on extended conductive structures have been addressed. However, these works do not present a unified method to determine the induced voltage on parts of the structures and the current flowing through the pipeline. Such a method could be based on a technology that models the operation of electric power systems in phase coordinates. This paper presents the development of a method and the results of the studies aimed at modeling the voltage induced by complex traction networks. The developed digital models make it possible to adequately determine the induced voltage created by multi-wire traction networks and the current flowing through the pipes. Using these models, one can make an informed decision regarding the appropriate measure to ensure the safety of personnel working on these structures, as well as the development of corrosion prevention methods and measures.
