The article shows that the replacement of concrete poles should be based on their actual corrosion state. Authors propose a new method for determining the corrosion state of the contact system concrete poles underground part, which allows to carry out measurements on the two poles at the same time. In this case, second pole acts as a current electrode. There is a formulas for determining the resistance of concrete, resistance and capacity of «steel - concrete» interface region. This algebraical expressions are results of the transient process analysis for the contact system poles equivalent circuit. The values of these parameters define the corrosion state pole in the underground part. Using of the proposed method will significantly reduce the time and labor costs of diagnostic procedures.

The article is about defining corrosion state of overhead structures underground part. Specially designed concrete models are used for experiments and calculations. These models are made with the fabric technology of overhead structures creation. «Steel - Concrete» interface region parameters are calculated with a help of transient process which situated when DC power supply is connected to the scheme. There is a formulas and a methodic for calculation needed parameters. In the end of the article theoretical curve is located. It exactly coincides with an experimental curve.
