Function of Neutral Section:
1) Passing of pantograph under insulated overlap will cause short circuit between two phases, damaging OHE & pantograph. To avoid this bridging, a neutral section is inserted between them.
2) Since neutral section is dead, it becomes necessary for the drivers of an electric train to switch off power, before approaching neutral section and coast through the other zone.
Function of Section Insulator:
Section insulators are provided to insulate OHE of one elementary section from the OHE of another adjacent elementary section.
