This study firstly presents an algorithm for the study of the 50–60 Hz inductive electromagnetic interference produced by a High Voltage power line on nearby not parallel railway track circuits used for signalling purposes; secondly the algorithm is used for a sensitivity analysis relevant to the level of generated electromagnetic interference depending on the characteristics of the railway line (electrified/not electrified, single/double track) and with reference to the state of rails insulation from the soil.
