A railway power supply system and method for electrically powering an electrical device are provided. The electrical device is situated along a railway and is powered through an electrically conductive line generally used for carrying an electrical signal to a railway signaling device. The power supply system includes a power injector coupled to the line. The line is used for carrying a signal to the signaling device at a first frequency value for performing a signaling operation. The power injector is configured to introduce at the line a power signal for powering the electrical device. The injected power is at a second frequency value that is sufficiently spread apart from the first frequency value to avoid interference with the signaling operation of the railway signaling device. The power supply system further includes a power collector coupled to the line and to the electrical device for passing the signal for powering the electrical device.
A railway power supply system for electrically powering at least one electrical device situated along a railway, said powering to be performed through an electrically conductive line connecting a railway signaling device power source to a railway signaling device situated along the railway, wherein the railway signal device power source provides power to the railway signaling device at a first frequency value, said power supply system comprising:
A method for electrically powering at least one electrical device situated along a railway through an electrically conductive line connecting a railway signaling device power source to a railway signaling device, wherein the railway signaling device power source provides power to the signaling device at a first frequency. said method comprising:
