CONSTITUTION: (1) A power source circuit 6 is structured which converts voltage level between a gas pipe 1 with electric protection performed by an external power method and the ground, thereby feeding electricity to underground equipment 5. The power source circuit 6 may be constituted of a capacitor 7, DC-DC converter 8 and voltage regulator 9. (2) A power source circuit 14, which rectifies AC current between a gas pipe 11 and the ground to charge in a storage battery 18, is structured between the gas pipe 11 buried close to a railroad and the ground, thereby feeding the charged electricity to the underground equipment 13 as necessary. The power source circuit may be constituted of a rectifier circuit, charge control circuit 17, storage battery 18 and voltage stabilizing circuit 19, for example. Thus, the feed is easily performed to the equipment inside an underground governor chamber or the like at a site where it is difficult to install an initial power receiving device on the ground, requiring no maintenance such as changing batteries.

Return to the substation. The cathodic protection equipment acts on this inflowing current so as to keep the gas conduit at a predetermined base potential with respect to the ground, but AC current is neglected because it has no problem in anticorrosion. In addition, a wide variety of alternating currents such as an induced current from a power line flows in the gas conduit.
