This paper has described a microcomputer system for the fast location of the faults in the electric traction lines of the italian railways. The microcomputer processes the data of normally performed tests. It is placed in a base station which supervises four automatic electric power substations. The proposed system is adaptable to the characteristics of the railway sections to minimize the errors. This work is a theoretical approach to the problem and an experimental verification of the proposed system is required.
