A system for detecting a rail break or train occupancy includes a current source adapted to deliver a current to an isolated block of a rail track. A voltage sensor is coupled to the isolated block and configured to detect voltage across the isolated block. A shunt device is coupled to the isolated block and configured to receive a shunt current from the current delivered by the current source. A shunt current sensor is coupled to the shunt device and adapted to detect the shunt current flowing through the shunt device. A control unit is adapted to receive input from the voltage sensor and the shunt current sensor and to monitor a variation of the shunt current with respect to the voltage to detect the rail break or train occupancy.

L'invention concerne un système pour détecter une interruption des rails ou l'affectation des trains comprenant une source de courant conçue pour distribuer un courant vers un bloc isolé d'une voie ferrée. Un détecteur de tension est couplé au bloc isolé et il est configuré pour détecter la tension passant à travers le bloc isolé. Un dispositif de dérivation est couplé au bloc isolé et il est configuré pour recevoir un courant de dérivation à partir du courant distribué par la source de courant. Un détecteur de courant de dérivation est couplé au dispositif de dérivation et il est conçu pour détecter le courant de dérivation passant à travers le dispositif de dérivation. Une unité de commande reçoit l'entrée du détecteur de tension et le détecteur de courant de dérivation et elle surveille les variations du courant de dérivation par rapport à la tension, ce qui permet de détecter l'interruption du rail ou l'affectation du train.
