    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_switch

    A right-hand railroad switch with point indicator pointing to right Animated diagram of a right-hand railroad switch. Rail track A divides into two: track B (the straight track) and track C (the diverging track); note that the green line represents direction of travel only, the black lines represent fixed portions of track, and the red lines depict the moving components.

  3. Facing and trailing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facing_and_trailing

    The goods siding on a double line (in the above diagram) uses two trailing points and a diamond. It can be shunted by trains in either direction. This was widely done in New South Wales, though later on the diamond crossing was replaced with a pair of ladder crossovers; such as: Bredalabane (S) Jerrawa (S) Woy Woy (N) Newbridge (W)

  4. Catch points - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_points

    A single tongue trap consists of only one switch rail, leading away from the main line to a short tongue of rail. This is usually placed in the rail farthest from the main line. Double trap points are a full turnout, leading to two tongues. Usually the tongue nearer the main line is longer than the other.

  5. Wye (rail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wye_(rail)

    The sharp curves of the triangle, and especially the turnouts on those sharp curves, restrict train speeds to between 10 and 50 km/h (6.2 and 31.1 mph). Near Hamilton station on the Central Coast and Newcastle line there is a wye for freight trains and regional trains. This puts them directly on the Main Northern line.

    An ingenious valve called the triple valve connects the brake pipe, auxiliary reservoir and brake cylinder together in such manner that any reduction of pressure in the brake pipe opens a passage for the air from the auxiliary reservoir to the brake cylinder, applying the brakes, and closes the connection between brake pipe and reservoir.

    is the phase angle difference between the sending-end and receiving end voltages From the above equations, it can be seen that there are three variables that affect real and reactive power flow on a Transmission Line: [ 12 ] the voltage magnitudes at either bus, the line reactance between the buses, and the voltage phase-angle difference ...

  8. Reflections of signals on conducting lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflections_of_signals_on...

    A time-domain reflectometer; an instrument used to locate the position of faults on lines from the time taken for a reflected wave to return from the discontinuity.. A signal travelling along an electrical transmission line will be partly, or wholly, reflected back in the opposite direction when the travelling signal encounters a discontinuity in the characteristic impedance of the line, or if ...

  9. HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    When line commutated converters are used, the converter station will require between 40% and 60% of its power rating as reactive power. This can be provided by banks of switched capacitors or by synchronous condensers, or if a suitable power generating station is located close to the static inverter plant, the generators in the power station ...
