    [0001] 1 Set consisting of an electric vehicle and a stationary charging system by conduction; System, installation, vehicle and associated method. The invention is in the field of stationary charging systems by conduction of an electric vehicle. In the present document, if the embodiment described hereinafter in detail relates to an electric vehicle which is a tramway, the invention is not limited to this particular type of electric vehicle, but is applicable to all types of vehicles. electric vehicles, guided or unguided, such as subways, trucks, automobiles, buses, etc.
    [0002] Different systems are known for powering an electric vehicle to provide electrical power, either used directly by vehicle propulsion means, or stored in energy storage means of the vehicle. Dynamic charging systems are known that allow the electric vehicle to be powered while moving. For a vehicle such as a tramway, the example of such a dynamic system is constituted by a roof-powered system, for example of the catenary type. For a vehicle such as a car, it has been proposed pavements incorporating a conductive track, brought to a supply potential. The car comprises a means of sensing the current in contact with the conductive track throughout the movement of the vehicle.
    [0003] There are also known static charging systems, which allow the recharging of energy storage means of the vehicle when it is stopped. If the stop is extended, we will talk about a fixed charging system. For the case of an electric car, it is for example to park the vehicle on a specific parking place located near an electrical terminal connected to the sector. By means of a simple electrical cable provided on the car and provided with a suitable connector, the energy storage means of the car are electrically connected to the terminal to be recharged. With these fixed systems, charging times are long: several hours for a complete recharge of the batteries of a light vehicle, such as a passenger car. The vehicle is therefore unavailable for several hours. It is thus stopped during the recharge, in the sense that its engine is cut and that it is not in immediate state of running. The power supplied by such fixed systems are relatively low, since the energy required to recharge the vehicle is captured during a long charging time. If the stop is short, of the order of a few tens of seconds, we will speak of a stationary charging system. Such a system is able to transfer, from the ground to the electric vehicle, a relatively large power, compared to dynamic systems or fixed static systems. The refill is fast and the stop short, the vehicle remains in a state of running: its speed is zero, but it is ready to accelerate immediately to leave the position of collecting the electric current. Among the stationary systems, induction charging systems are known. The vehicle is equipped with an armature that is placed, when the car arrives at a collection site, above a coil, provided under the surface of the ground. The flux of the magnetic field generated by the coil is then able to generate in the armature, a current for recharging the vehicle batteries. However, such stationary induction charging systems do not provide enough power to charge a heavy electric vehicle, such as a tram, a truck, etc. or to guarantee a short downtime for the complete recharging of the energy storage means of a light vehicle. In addition, induction systems generate large magnetic fields in the vicinity of the vehicle during charging. The impact on health 15 of magnetic fields is not yet well known. The object of the invention is therefore to propose a conductive stationary charging system, which is an alternative to the known systems, in particular allowing a greater power transfer than stationary induction charging systems, having a reduced deployment cost, and having a level of high security for those around the vehicle at the time of charging. The subject of the invention is therefore an assembly consisting of an electric vehicle and a conductive stationary charging system for recharging said electric vehicle when it is stopped in a predetermined position allowing the capture of energy from the charging system, the recharging system comprising a supply pad, disposed on the ground and associated with a current return means, and a switching device capable of bringing the supply pad to a supply voltage delivered by a source of electrical power to which the recharging system is connected, the vehicle comprising a wiper electrically connected to on-board energy storage means, the wiper being placed under a vehicle body and movable between a high position, at a distance of the supply pad, and a low position, in contact with the supply pad, the vehicle comprising a control device controlling the displacement of the wiper from the high position to the low position so that it is brought into contact with the supply pad, only when the vehicle is stopped in said predetermined position, the sensing position in which the impression at vehicle floor covers the power supply pad.
    [0004] According to particular embodiments, the assembly comprises one or more of the following characteristics, taken individually or in any technically possible combination: the assembly comprises a bidirectional communication equipment between the charging system and the vehicle; comprising a ground transceiver module connected to a ground antenna located in the vicinity of the power supply pad, and an on-board transmitter / receiver module connected to an edge antenna, carried by the wiper, the ground-transceiver device being adapted to transmitting a first signal continuously over a large range, the edge transmission / reception module being able to detect the first signal in the up position and in the low position of the wiper, the first signal when it is received indicating that the wiper is is located directly above a power supply pad, the transmission / reception module being able to emit on a range r a second signal, the ground transmitting / receiving module being able to detect the second signal only in the low position of the wiper, the second signal when received indicating that the wiper is in contact with the power supply pad . the control device is able to detect that the wiper, brought into contact with the supply pad, is brought to a supply potential and, consequently, to electrically connect the wiper to the energy storage means by controlling closing an onboard switch. The vehicle is a guided vehicle along a track comprising at least one metal rail and the current return means is constituted by said rail connected to a reference potential, or the vehicle is a non-guided vehicle and the current feedback means is constituted by a reference pad connected to a reference potential. the control device comprises, in series between the source and the supply pad, a main contactor and an isolating switch, making it possible to place the supply pad exclusively either at the supply potential or at the potential of reference. - The control device comprises a contactor in parallel with the assembly formed by the main contactor and the isolating switch. A supply pad comprises a conductive track, with which the wiper of a vehicle is adapted to come into contact, and an insulating insole for fixing the supply pad on the floor of the track, the insulating soleplate being provided with a peripheral receiving channel of the ground antenna. the assembly is capable of delivering a power of the order of 1 MW, the supply potential being between 600 V and 1000 V, preferably equal to 760 V.
    [0005] The invention also relates to a conductive stationary charging system intended to be integrated with the previous assembly. The invention also relates to a power supply of an electric vehicle comprising a plurality of charging systems in accordance with the previous system. Preferably, the installation comprises, by predetermined position of the electric vehicle for recharging the latter, at least two charging stationary charging systems. The invention also relates to a rail vehicle intended to be integrated with the previous assembly. The invention also relates to a method of using the preceding set comprising the following steps: emission from the ground of a first long-range signal; detection by the edge of the first signal emitted by the ground, indicative of the fact that the wiper is in line with a power supply pad of a charging system; Controlling the descent of the wiper so that it comes into contact with the supply pad; emission by the edge of a second short-range signal; reception by the ground of the second signal, indicative of the contacting of a wiper with the charging pad; and control of the ground power contactor and the on-board power contactor allowing the power supply potential of the power supply pad and the connection of the wiper to the on-board energy storage means to begin charging. Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps at the end of recharging: opening control of the on-board contactor for electrically isolating the wiper from the energy storage means; stopping the transmission of the second signal transmitted by the edge; detecting the end of the second signal being transmitted from the ground and opening control of the power contactor to set the supply pad to the reference potential; detecting that the wiper is at the reference potential and controlling the movement of the wiper away from the supply pad; and allow the electric vehicle to restart. The invention will be better understood and other features, objects and advantages thereof will appear more clearly with the aid of the following description of a particular embodiment of the invention, given solely as a illustrative and not limiting, this description being made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: - Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a tramway running line, the different stations are equipped with stationary charging systems 35 by conduction according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a pair of stationary charging systems according to the invention equipping one of the platforms of a station of FIG. 1, a tramway being stopped in a predetermined position allowing the transfer of electrical energy from the ground to the edge; FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic sectional representation of the tramway of FIG. 2, at the level of a feed pad of one of the two stationary charging systems; and FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic representation of the various steps of the charging method of an electric vehicle by means of the stationary charging system 10 according to the invention. FIG. 1 schematically represents a trolley line 1, comprising for example a first path 2 for the outward path and a second path 3 for the return path, which allow trams to run between end stations 50 and S5, passing through intermediate stations. In FIG. 1, four intermediate stations 51, S2, S3 and S4 are shown. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, each station has two platforms. The first platform 4 of a station allows the transfer of passengers with a tramway traveling on the first channel 2 and stopped at the station in question. The second platform 5 of a station allows the transfer of passengers with a tramway traveling on the second channel 3 20 and stopped at the station in question. Line 1 is equipped with a ground charging installation 10, comprising a plurality of stationary conduction charging systems, located in the station and enabling trams to capture electrical energy when stationary. The installation 10 also comprises a power supply network 15 and one or more substation (s), 18, 19, constituting, for charging systems, a source of electrical power. In the embodiment described here in detail, the ground charging installation allows trams to be fed over the entire line. Alternatively, the ground charging facility is dedicated to power trams on a section only 30 of the line. This section is framed by sections equipped with their own feed installation, for example a ground charging facility, or a catenary charging installation, or a mixed charging installation, that is to say by catenary and by the ground. The dock of each station is equipped with a pair of conductive stationary charging systems. Each system allows the transfer of electrical power from the ground to a tramway stopped along the wharf, during a time substantially corresponding to the transfer time of passengers, that is to say typically between five and fifty seconds . The presence of two charging systems per platform allows redundancy, so as to ensure, in case of failure of one of the two charging systems, a 5 tram can be recharged using the other charging system. This ensures a high availability of the installation 10, throughout the movement of the trams. Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, for example for the station S1, the first platform 4 is equipped with a first front charging system 11 and a first rear charging system 12, and the second platform 5 is equipped with a second charging system 10 before 13 and a second rear charging system 14. The qualifiers of front and rear are defined with respect to the direction of traffic of the trams on the track in question. The charging systems being identical to each other, unless otherwise stated, the description will be made omitting the qualifiers of first and second or front and rear 15 and with particular reference to the first charging system before 11. The power supply network 15 in the embodiment described here in detail, is single-phase. It comprises a phase cable at the supply potential. The supply network 15 is for example connected to two supply substations 18 and 19. The first substation 18 is provided at the station SO 20 whereas the second substation 19 is provided at the station S4. A substation constitutes a connection interface of the installation 10 to the general network of an electricity supplier. A substation allows the shaping of the current necessary for charging trams. While one of the terminals of each substation is connected to the network 15, the other terminal is connected to at least one of the rails of the track, that is to say to a potential of reference, referred to as "zero volt rail" or 0 VR in the following. The reference potential is close to the earth potential. The reference cable 16 is also at the reference potential. To do this it is regularly connected to at least one track of the track, by connecting cables 17. The installation 10 is able to apply a voltage between 600 and 1000 V, preferably 750 V, corresponding to the difference between the supply and reference potentials. Given a downtime of a few tens of seconds, a charging system delivers a power of the order of 1 MW.
    [0006] Many variants of the supply network and the sources of the installation are conceivable.
    [0007] Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, a charging system and an electric vehicle adapted to operate with this system will be described. In general, a conductive stationary charging system comprises a supply pad, located on the floor of the track, between the rail wires.
    [0008] The system also comprises, in a housing on the side of the track, a switching device for connecting the power supply pad to the supply potential delivered by the power supply network or to the reference potential of the power supply. reference cable 16, and a monitoring device, for isolating the switching device from the source in the event of a malfunction.
    [0009] Thus, in FIG. 2, the front system 11 comprises a feed pad 21, a switching device 31 and a monitoring device 71 and the rear system 12 comprises a feed pad 22, a switching device 32 and a surveillance device 72. A tramway 40 comprises two wipers, respectively front 41 and rear 42, 15 movably mounted under the body of the tramway 40 and able to come into contact, respectively, with the supply pad 21 of the front charging system 11 and the power supply pad 22 of the rear charging system 12, when the tramway 40 is stopped along the wharf, in a predetermined position for the current sensing. During the charging of the electric vehicle, the footprint of the latter 20 covers the power supply pad. There is no risk for people moving around the electric vehicle to be electrocuted. In more detail, the switching device 31 of the front charging system 11 integrates, in series between the supply network 15 and a connection cable 26 to the supply pad 21, an isolating switch 33 and a contactor principal 34.
    [0010] Similarly, the switching device 32 of the rear charging system 12 integrates, in series between the supply network 15 and a connection cable 27 to the supply pad 22, an isolating switch 33 and a contactor 34. The main contactor 34 has an input terminal connected to a first output terminal of the isolation isolator 33 and an output terminal connected to the connection cable 26. In a closed state of the main contactor 34, there is electrical continuity between its entrance and exit. In an open state of the main contactor 34, there is an electrical discontinuity between its input and its output. The isolation isolator 33 has a first input terminal connected to the network 15, a second input terminal connected to the reference cable 16, a first output terminal connected to the input terminal of the main contactor 34 and a second output terminal connected directly to the connection cable 26 to the power supply pad 21. In a closed state of the isolation disconnector 33, there is electrical continuity between the first input and output terminals and electrical discontinuity between the two terminals. second input and output terminals. In an open state of isolation isolator 33 there is electrical discontinuity between the first input and output terminals and electrical continuity between the second input and output terminals. The switching device 31 also comprises a control module 35 integrating a ground transmit / receive module 36 and a secondary contactor 37. The secondary contactor 37 comprises an input terminal connected to the reference cable 16 and an output terminal connected. to the connection cable 26 to the supply pad 10. In a closed state of the secondary contactor 37, there is electrical continuity between its input and its output. In an open state of the contactor 37, there is an electrical discontinuity between its input and its output. The state of the isolation isolator 33, that of the main contactor 34 and that of the secondary safety contactor 37 are controlled by the control module 35 so as to place the supply pad 21 either at the supply potential or to the potential of the reference, and this to the exclusion of any other possible state. In the closed position of the isolating switch 33, the closing of the main contactor 34 and the opening of the secondary contactor 37 makes it possible to connect the supply pad 21 to the network 15 and thus to bring it to the supply potential.
    [0011] In the closed position of the isolating switch 33, the opening of the main contactor 34 and the closing of the secondary contactor 37 makes it possible to connect the supply pad 21 to the reference cable 16 and thus to raise it to the reference potential. The ground transmitting / receiving module 36 is connected to a ground antenna 38 provided in the supply pad 21. Similarly, for the rear system 12, the ground transmitting / receiving module 36 is connected to an antenna The ground transmission / reception module 36 is adapted to transmit continuously and periodically a first signal, incorporating a code, which is characteristic of the charging function. Advantageously, the code transmitted by a ground antenna makes it possible to distinguish the front system 11 from the rear system 12. The module and the ground antenna are such that the first signal is emitted with a relatively high power, so as to have a relatively long range. important, of the order of a few tens of centimeters. The frequency used is preferably several kHz, for example 38 kHz.
    [0012] The module and the ground antenna allow the reception of a second signal emitted by the tramway, indicating that the wiper is in the immediate vicinity of the corresponding power supply pad. The control device 35 is able to keep the main contactor 34 closed, and to keep the contactor 37 open as long as the ground transmit / receive module 36 receives a second signal. As shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3, the supply pad, such as the feed pad 21, is implanted on the concrete floor of the track, between the two running rail wires, substantially in line with the middle of the platform. along which tram 10 stops. The supply pad 21 consists of a conductive track 23 held by an insulating soleplate 25. Similarly, a supply pad 22 consists of a conductive track 24 held by an insulating baseplate 25. The conductive track 23 is an electrically conductive material. It has a parallelepipedal shape of substantially rectangular section. The upper face of the conductive track is exposed, so as to allow contact with a treadle of the tram. The insulating sole 25 is made of an electrical insulating material. It allows the attachment of the feed pad 21, respectively 21, on the concrete floor constituting the floor of the track. The insulating soleplate 25 is provided with a peripheral channel intended to receive the ground antenna 38, 39, which then forms a loop around the conductive track 23, 24. Passages provided under the feed pad 21, respectively 22, in the concrete raft allow the routing of an antenna cable, the connecting cable 26, 27, connected to the conductive track 23, and possibly a connecting cable 17, to the housing containing the device of commutation. The cables are thus buried. The monitoring device 71 of the system 11 comprises a module 73 for measuring the voltage of the segment 23 of the pad 21 and an alarm module 74.
    [0013] As a function in particular of the measurement of the voltage delivered by the module 73, the alarm module 74 is able to generate a local alarm signal for the control module 35 so that the latter opens the isolation isolator 33 if a malfunction is detected. In particular, as a function of the measurement of the voltage delivered by the module 73, the alarm module 74 is able to generate a general alarm signal to a short-circuit means 80 of the or each source. supply of the installation 10.
    [0014] More specifically, the short-circuit means 80 comprises a first pilot line 81 connecting in series relays 83 fitted to each pair of charging systems of the stations S2, S1 and SO and a short-circuiter 88 at the first sub-level. -station 18 and a second pilot line 82 connecting series 83 relays equipping each pair of 5 charging systems stations S3, S4 and S5 and a short-circuit 89 at the second substation 19. A short-circuiter , when closed, enables the terminals of the corresponding substation to be short-circuited so that no power can be transmitted by the substation on the supply network 15.
    [0015] In normal operation of the plant 10, the short-circuiters 88, 89 are open. In case of detection of a major fault, the short-circuiters 88, 89 are closed. For example, when an alarm module 74 transmits a general alarm signal, the relay 83 associated with the charging system considered ceases to transmit a pilot signal along the pilot line, 81 or 82. The short-circuiter at the end of the pilot line closes, no longer receiving the pilot tone. The source is thus isolated from the rest of the installation. A closing signal is also transmitted to the short-circuiter of each of the other substations of the section so as to ensure that no power pad of the section can be brought to the supply potential.
    [0016] In the present embodiment, the current return means is constituted by one of the metal rails of the track, the tram being equipped with metal wheels. For the case of a vehicle guided on a tire or an unguided vehicle, the current return means may for example be constituted by a second pad, brought to the reference potential via the reference cable. This second supply pad is for example 25 arranged in parallel with the supply pad. The tramway 40 may optionally be equipped with a servo-control device 50 from its stop position capable of detecting the presence of a positioning beacon placed on the track, for example at the head of the platform, at a reference position. predetermined. On board the tramway, the servocontrol device 50 comprises a locating antenna capable of detecting a locating signal emitted by the beacon. Depending on the signal received, the control device 50 controls the tram stop so that, at the complete stop of the tramway 40, the location antenna is located vertically above the beacon. Such servo devices are known to those skilled in the art. They make it possible to guarantee the stopping of the vehicle in a predetermined position with a close positioning tolerance. For example, for a tram, the known servo devices have a positioning tolerance of the order of +/- 10 cm relative to a reference position associated with the beacon, allowing in cases where it is necessary that at the stop the doors of the tramway are in front of landing doors provided on the quay. Alternatively, when the stop is made by the driver, the positioning accuracy above the pad is less accurate, for example +/- 75cm. The length of the conductive tracks 23 and 24 make it possible to accept this positioning tolerance. Ensuring the stopping position of the tramway with respect to the wharf makes it possible to arrange each feed pad on the track and each wiper on the tramway, so as to be certain that each wiper can be brought into contact with one another. corresponding supply pad when the train is stopped in the predetermined stopping position. This then allows the capture of current by the tramway from the charging system. The length of the conductive track of a power pad thus depends on the positioning tolerance offered by the control device used. For a tolerance of +/- 75 cm, the conductive track therefore has a length of the order of 1.5 m.
    [0017] The tramway 40 comprises energy storage means 45. It can be any type of known means, in particular super-capacitors (for storing electrical energy received from the ground in the form of a light source). electrical energy), a flywheel (for storing the electrical energy received from the ground in the form of mechanical energy), etc.
    [0018] A wiper is controlled by a control device. The front wiper 41 is controlled by the control device 43, while the rear wiper 42 is controlled by the control device 44. A wiper, for example the front wiper 41, disposed under the body of the electric vehicle, is movable between a high position, away from the upper surface of the conductive track 23 of the feed pad 21, and a low position, in contact with the upper surface of the conductive track 23 of the feed pad 21. The wiper 41 is moved by an actuator 62 adapted to the control device 43. The control device 43 comprises an edge transmission / reception module 64, connected to an edge antenna 66 carried by the wiper 41.
    [0019] The edge transmitting / receiving module 64 and the edge antenna 66 are adapted to receive the first signal emitted by the ground transmitting / receiving module 36 and the ground antenna 38, irrespective of the high or low position. bottom of the wiper 41 carrying the on-board antenna, the transmitting power of the first signal being sufficiently high. The edge transmission / reception module 64 is able to extract the characteristic code contained in the first received signal.
    [0020] The edge transmission / reception module 64 and the edge antenna 66 are suitable for transmitting a second signal. The second signal is emitted with a relatively low power, but slightly greater than the detection threshold of the ground antenna 38 and the ground transmitting / receiving module 36 so that the ground antenna 38 and the module 5 of FIG. transmission / reception ground 36 detect the second signal only when the wiper 41 carrying the edge antenna 66 is in the immediate vicinity of the supply pad 21, that is to say when it is in the down position, in contact with this last. The control device 43 comprises a device for measuring the voltage 67, making it possible to determine the instantaneous voltage of the wiper 41, in particular if it is in contact with the supply pad 21 brought to the supply potential. The control device 43 comprises a calculation module 68, adapted to control the actuator 62 for moving the wiper 41 from the high position to the low position, so that the wiper is brought into contact with the supply pad, and reciprocally from the low position to the high position so that the wiper is removed from the supply pad. The calculation module 68 is able to check various constraints before controlling the deployment of the wiper. The calculation module 68 verifies that the tramway 40 is stopped in the station. This information is for example provided by the device 50 indicating whether or not the speed of the tramway is zero. If so, the calculation module 68 is able to issue an inhibition command of the traction of the tram, in order to prohibit any acceleration of the tram when the wiper has left its folded position in the high position. The calculation module 68 verifies that the edge transmission / reception module 64 receives a first signal emitted by a ground antenna. More specifically, the calculation module 68 checks the value of the code extracted from the first received signal. This ensures that the predetermined stop position is reached and that the wiper is actually above a charging system. The computing module 68 is able to control the edge transmit / receive module 64 to transmit the second signal periodically.
    [0021] When the calculation module 68 detects the presence of voltage on the wiper, it is able to control an edge switch 69 which, when closed, electrically connects the wiper 41 to a first terminal of the energy storage means 45. Another terminal of the energy storage means 45 is connected to the current return means, in this case the metal wheel of the tramway.
    [0022] The method 100 for using the means just described will now be presented with reference to FIG. 4. In step 110, the ground transmitting / receiving module 36 periodically and continuously generates a first signal. signal, incorporating a characteristic code. The conductive track 23 of the supply pad 21 is at the reference potential of the rail (0 V rail), the contactor 37 being closed and the power contactor 34 being open. The plant 10 operating correctly, the short-circuiters 88 and 89 of the power substations are open and the isolation isolators 33 of the different systems are closed. At step 120, when the tramway 40 arrives at the station, the driver of the tramway 10 brings the tramway 40 to a stop in a predetermined position, which also allows the capture of current. This position is confirmed by the fact that the edge transmission / reception module 64, associated with the front wiper 41, receives the first signal emitted by the ground transmitting / receiving module 36 and the ground antenna 38 of the front charging system. 11. The edge transmission / reception module 64 extracts the characteristic code, indicative of the fact that the wiper 41 is actually in line with the supply pad 21. In step 130, the control device 43 associated with the front wiper 41 of the tram transmits a traction inhibition command preventing any restart of the tramway 40. The control device 43 also controls the actuator 62 to deploy the wiper 41 so that it comes into contact with the track The control device 43 then controls the periodic transmission by the edge transmission / reception module 64 and the edge antenna 66 of a second signal. In step 140, the second signal is picked up by the ground transmit / receive module 36 and the ground antenna 38. The control device 31 thus detects the presence of the tramway 40. Accordingly, at step 150 , the control module 35 simultaneously controls opening the contactor 37 and closing the power contactor 34. The conductive track 23 of the supply pad 21 is then brought to the supply potential.
    [0023] In step 160, the on-board device for measuring the voltage 67 detects that the wiper 41, in contact with the conductive track 23 of the supply pad 21, is brought to the reference potential. It informs the computing module 68. Accordingly, in step 170, the calculation module 68 closes the on-board contactor 69 allowing the electrical connection of the wiper 41 and the storage means 45.
    [0024] During step 180, electrical power is transmitted from the ground to the tramway, allowing the latter to be recharged. In step 190, when the calculation module 68 decides on the end of recharging, for example when the charging has reached a predetermined threshold, it opens the on-board contactor 69 to open so as to interrupt the current flowing between the wiper. 41 and the storage means 45. In step 190, the calculation module 68 then controls the on-board transmission / reception module 64 so that it stops transmitting the second signal. In step 200, the ground transmit / receive module 36 ceases to receive the second signal, the control device 35 opens the power contactor 34, and closes the contactor 37 to place the conductive track 23 of the pad. supply 21 to the reference potential. In step 210, the on-board device for measuring the voltage 67 makes it possible to detect that the wiper is now at the reference potential. The calculation module 68 controls the actuator 62 so as to raise the wiper 41 away from the supply pad 21, to replace it in the upper position for the circulation of the tram. In step 220, the calculation module 68 cancels its traction inhibition instruction. At step 230, the tram accelerates to leave the station.
    [0025] When the monitoring device 71 detects any failure of the control device 31, for example when the measurement of the potential of the segment 23 is different from the reference potential while no tramway is present above the power pad 21, it generates a local alarm signal to the control module 35. This then controls the switchover to the open state of the isolating switch 33, so as to open the connection between the connection cable 26 and the network 15 and close the connection between the connection cable 26 and the reference cable 16. Once this local operation for securing the installation, the monitoring device 71 continues to periodically check the potential of the pad 21.
    [0026] If the detected fault persists, the monitoring device 71 generates a general alarm signal to the relay 83 to which the charging system is connected. This interrupts the transmission of the pilot signal, which immediately results in the closing of the short-circuiters 88 and 89 of the power supply substations 18 and 19. This general operation of securing the installation makes it possible to prevent any feeding of the studs of the section concerned.
    [0027] Thus, the security of the installation is based on the detection of the presence of a tramway over a power pad by the detection, on the ground, of a signal transmitted by the tramway, the surveillance at any time the potential at which each power pad is carried with, if necessary, a local security and / or a general safety 5 of the installation in case of detection of a fault or malfunction.
