Abstract
The topic of this paper is currents leaking from electric railway tracks into the ground, where they cause the so-called “stray currents”. This paper focuses on the measurement of these currents in AC railway in real life conditions. Computer simulation of the problem is also included. At the end, measurement and simulation results are compared.
