Faculty Applied Sciences Date 2007-12-12 Abstract The invention relates to compensation device for a magnetic field generated through electric traction in a tram or train transport system that comprises an overhead line and rails, the overhead line and rails during operation being live, wherein a predetermined section of the overhead line and rails is provided with adjacent circuits, each of which comprising an electrical conductor element running next to the overhead line, able to, during operation, conduct a second current running counter to the first current in the overhead line, which circuits further possess second electrical conductor elements joined to both sides of the first electrical conductor element, which extend from the first electrical conductor element to near the rails, and wherein each of the adjacent circuits is connected to an own power source that is controlled subject to a local electrical parameter of the tram or train transport system, wherein the local electrical parameter is selected from the group comprising a voltage over a section of the rails, a voltage over, or a current through a section of the overhead line.
