TRB Straight to Recording: Control of Direct Current Powered Rail Transit Systems

This recording provides insight into the development of the guidance for design, maintenance, and testing of stray current control (SCC) for rail transit systems. The research team studied practices at national and international transit agencies and formatted their report as a reference guide. The report and this recording may be valuable to the rail transit industry for entry level personnel as a primer as well as system operators as a reference.

This guidance can be found in TCRP Report 212: Stray Current Control of Direct Current-Powered Rail Transit Systems: A Guidebook.
