For rod running under the track, the top of the rod
shall not be less than 25 mm below the bottom of the
rail in order to ensure that the rails do not come in
contact with the rod during the passage of the trains.
Ensure that the rod transmission is more than 300 m.
Additional insulators shall be provided on each rod at
every 300 meters.
