Stray current corrosion poses a significant threat to rail transit systems worldwide, affecting both aboveground and subterranean infrastructure. Unintended electrical leakage from traction power ...

The recommendation here is to use (ER) coupons as tools for assessing the corrosion risks. The real challenge exists in the borderline between mitigation against DC stray current corrosion (which ...

It reminded me of an incident we had years ago on the 37-foot Rybovich Brier Patch that was just as bad if not worse and led me down the path to learning about stray current and the different types of ...

The aim was to verify whether the design life of these solutions might be affected by possible corrosion caused by stray currents. The report refers only to direct current (DC) systems since stray ...

but it blocks minor voltages common in marina ground wires to protect your boat’s metal from stray-current corrosion. “A lightning strike, not just on your boat but nearby in the marina, can pass ...

Corrosion problems on dc-powered traction systems are usually associated with stray currents. The ‘leakage’ of electrical current from its intended path can cause localised corrosion of the rail or ...

was checking its pipes for possible corrosion from "stray" electrical current escaping into the ground from Metro's light rail tracks. Now a consultant for TECO is also taking electrical ...
