Abstract |
|
AC traction scheme is implemented in 1957 by Indian railway board. It was simple 25kV, 50 Hz single phase system. Mainly AC traction employed for economy purpose in OHE, substations and locomotives because it reduces the cost of supporting structures. Various elements of AC traction system are explained in detail in this paper. Also different types of faults are also explained. It also contains an Introduction to out-of-phase short circuit fault which is new type of fault in AC traction and various issues in power quality of AC traction system and techniques to mitigate the issues and improve power quality. |
