overview
Who Will Benefit
Anyone who needs an introduction to the electrical systems in electric rail
systems. Roles such as estimators, work programmers and project managers
who do not have a background in electric traction are often required to
estimate, program and project manage jobs that cover the whole project of
building a rail line, where the electrics are just one component of the overall
project

Agenda
- Basic electrical layout of the electrical power and traction system
- Electric traction (i.e. what it is used for on the train – auxiliaries such as
- lighting and air conditioning and traction for driving the wheels):
- DC (as in Sydney)
- AC (as in Brisbane)
- How we get the electricity to the train (i.e. the OHW system) – sectional diagrams
- Brief review of different types of OHW systems
- How we get the electricity to the OHW:
- traction substations and major components (e.g transformers,
- reactors, rectifiers, circuit breakers)
- sectioning huts
- DC feeders
- special requirements for AC traction
- How do we get the electricity to the traction substations?
- HV AC substations and lines (overhead and underground)
- A basic overview of the need for the power study
- The basics of earthing
- Managing the issues of electrolysis with DC traction
