Railway Electrification
Railway electrification systems have undergone significant development in recent years due to the demands of high-speed lines, metros and light rail systems. In order to achieve safe and reliable integration of electrical/electronic systems, such as train control systems, in the railway environment, a basic understanding of railway electrification systems is required. This is an essential pre-requisite for understanding EMC issues for example. Also railway electrification is changing with moves away from traditional DC and 16 ⅔ Hz systems in Europe to 25kV AC and in the UK the introduction of auto-transformers on the WCRM project.
