Development of Section Insulator for High-speed Passage with Power ON
Tadashi KOHIDA, Hiroki NAGASAWA
To cope with an increased train load on BT section of narrow-gauge lines,
it bacame necessary to add a new resistance section to the existing BT section.
It is necessary for the new section to be able to permit high-speed passage of
train with Power ON. A series of new section insulators have been designed and
developed. In order to confirm practical applicability of such an insulator
section, laboratory and field tests have been carried out successfully.
