Keywords: signalling supply, supply system, energy distribution, electronic signalling.

Summary

To supply the local signalling equipment alongside the track, it is common to use a dedicated distribution system. After a short overview of the distribution systems employed in neighbouring countries, the 1 kV distribution system used in the Belgian railways is discussed, together with the recent evolutions. As a last step in the evolution, the concentration of the batteries in the distribution substations is proposed as a measure to reduce the costs while at the same time improving the reliability, availability and maintainability of the system. Besides this, the system has as main features: backward compatibility, improved safety, use of industry standard components and remote sectioning capabilities for faulty cables.
