Abstract
This article discusses the problem of improving the accuracy of determining the location of a short circuit in the AC railways traction networks. Finding a short circuit can take several hours. An urgent task is reducing the time to search for a fault location. The purpose of the study is to develop a method that increases the accuracy of determining the location of a short circuit in AC traction networks. The method is based on computer modeling of inhomogeneities in the structure of the traction network and the arc. The proposed method makes it possible to take into account the arc resistance. The method was tested on the traction network active section. The error of the method is 200-300 meters. The method can find practical application in the work of dispatchers.
