Publication number: 20230084963Abstract: A method, device, and system for detecting a current leak in a traction power rail. Magnetic or electrical properties of the rail are measured. The measurements are performed using a rail instrument that senses the properties around the rail at various times while the instrument is being moved down the rail, such as using a cart or train. The rail instrument may be a flux concentrator or open Rogowski coil. The locations of the rail, about which the readings are taken by the rail instrument, may be determined and correlated with the measurements themselves. The method may comprise measuring the magnetic field of the rail along a length of the rail, and identifying a leak based on differences between the magnetic field measurements. The system may comprise a cart comprising the rail instrument and a location instrument.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Matthew Gorczyca, Mark James Mitchell, Patrick Henry McGinn, Michael Morgan Campbell, Matthew Douglas Brown
