MAIN CIRCUIT OF TRACTION SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR AND RAIL VEHICLE

A method for controlling a main circuit of a traction system is provided. The method includes: under a braking condition, controlling a protection module to be turned off; controlling the protection module to be turned on and monitoring a first current detected by a first current sensor in a case that a rail vehicle runs on a charged third rail; and controlling the protection module to be turned off and monitoring whether the rail vehicle runs on a charged third rail in a case that the first current is less than a first preset current.
