Signet: West Coast Main Line

The West Coast Main Line is one of the busiest main lines in the UK. It links London with Glasgow and Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester. Camlin Rail has installed over 2500 Signets to automatically isolate faults and reduce downtime. In this case study, Signet automatically re-configured the signalling power supply following a cable theft incident.

Attempted Cable Theft Causes Signet Feeder to Re-Configure

Signet is considered a protection device which operates when an abnormal voltage or current reading is detected. During an attempted cable theft, an overcurrent was detected by Signet, causing the feeder to commence its re-configuration process and send notification alarms to Network Rail maintenance teams.
