High Voltage A.C. Distribution System
• Standard Voltages– 11kV– 33kV– 66kV– 132kV
• Modes of transfer– Overhead Transmission Lines– Underground Cable

HV Aerial Lines
• Conductors– Copper – Aluminium (AAC or Aluminium Alloy)
• Conductor Supports– Wood Poles– Steel Poles

1500V D.C. System
• Electric Trains in NSW Run on 1500V D.C. – Power is supplied from traction substations to
trains by means of the overhead wiring (OHW) system
– Trains collect current through pantographs sliding under the contact wire
– Current returns to the substations via traction rails
![Page 9: Electrical Systems Electrical Engineering in Railways –Rolling Stock –Communications & Control –Signalling –LV Installations in Stations and Buildings](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649d845503460f94a6b2f1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Traction Substations
• Switchgear– AC Circuit Breaker– DC Circuit Breaker
• Transformers & Rectifiers– Convert the high voltage ac supply to 1500V
dc• Control and Monitoring
– SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)

Traction Substations
• Substation Spacing– Typically 4km to 15km– Depends on a number of factors including
• Train loads• Track grades• Losses• OHW types• Train headways• Electrolysis

Overhead Wiring (OHW)
• Overhead Wiring Systems in RailCorp– Simple Catenary
• One or two contact wires supported by a catenary wire
– Compound Catenary• A main catenary supports an auxiliary
catenary, which in turn supports the contact wire
– Contact Only

Overhead Wiring
• Tensioning Modes– Fixed Anchored
• Wires rigidly anchored at both ends of the wire run
• Tension in the wire varies with temperature• Wire sags down at high temperatures
– Regulated Tension• Tension is the wire is held approximately
constant

Electrical Systems• Challenges
– Reliability• On Time Running• Single Contingency (Except for OHW)• Double or Triple Contingency at Critical Locations• Design to minimise restoration time after failures
– Safety• Statutory Clearances• Permit System• Safety in Design
