For rod running under the track, the top of the rod shall
not be less than 25 mm below the bottom of the rail in
order to ensure that the rails do not come in contact with
the rod during the passage of the trains.
Ensure that the rod transmission is more than 300 m.
Additional insulators shall be provided on each rod at
every 300 meters.
As

connected to the – ve polarity.
Closed and open track circuit adjoining each other shall
not be provided.

The equipment consist of a transistor oscillator
generator AC at 150 cycle and rectifier for converting AC
impulse received from other station. The rectified impulse
are applied to the block bell through a relay.

9. Maintenance
ν Check that separate power cables for feeding all signals are
installed, provided the conductors are of adequate cross
sectional area.
10.1 Do’s
ν Ensure that for the power cable for feeding the signals. The
voltage drop is with in 5 %
ν Ensure the rods and wires passing under the track and are
not touching the rail flange.
