  • Method for controlling a magnetic rail brake device of a rail vehicle
    Patent number: 9561808
    Abstract: A method for controlling a magnetic rail brake device of a rail vehicle, wherein the device contains at least one solenoid of a magnet rail brake, said solenoid being fed from a source of electrical energy via an electrical connection, wherein upon a magnet rail brake activation signal the electrical connection between the source of electrical energy and the at least one solenoid of the magnet rail brake is established and upon a magnet rail brake de-activation signal same is disconnected, in order to excite the at least one solenoid to generate a magnetic force or de-excite said at least one solenoid.
