TRACTION POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM (2X25 KV AT FEEDING SYSTEM) General Scheme : The electric power for railway traction is supplied in ac 50 Hz. single phase through 2x25 kV AT feeding system, which has a feeding voltage from the substation two times as high (2x25 kV) as
Page 6 of 34
catenary voltage (25kV). This high voltage power supplied from the traction substation through catenary wire and feeder wire is stepped down to the catenary voltage by use of autotransformers installed about every 13 to 17 km along the track, and then fed to the locomotives, In other words, both the catenary voltage and feeder voltage are 25kV against the rail, although the substation feeding voltage between catenary and feeder is 50 kV. Therefore, the catenary voltage is the same as that of the conventional 25 kV system. 4.1.1 Since the power is supplied in two times higher voltage, the 2x25 kV AT feeding system is suitable for a large power supply, and it has the following advantages, compared with conventional feeding systems. (a) Less voltage drop in feeder circuit. (b) Large spacing of traction substation. (c) Less telecommunication interference by use of AT installed with adequate spacing. 4.1.1 4.1.2 The power is obtained from 220/2x25 kV Scott- connected or V- connected traction transformer or 132/2x25 kV single phase transformers. The primary windings of the single phase transformers are connected to two or three phases of 132 kV, three-phase effectively earthed transmission net-work of the Electricity Board, in case of a single phase transformer or in case of two single phase transformers connected in V, respectively. On the other hand, the primary windings of the Scott-connected transformers are connected to the three phases of 220 kV three-phase, effectively earthed transmission net-work of the Electricity Board. The Scottconnected transformer and V-connected single phase transformers are effective in reducing voltage imbalance on the transmission net-work of the Electricity Board . The spacing between adjacent substations is normally between 70 to100 kms. A power supply diagram No. ETI/PSI/SK/3 & a sketch showing the general arrangement at a traction sub-station is at Appendix-I & II One outer side terminal of the secondary windings of traction transformer is connected to the catenary, the other outer side terminal being connected to the feeder. Two inner side terminals are, via series capacitors or directly, connected to each other, and their joint is solidly earthed and connected to the traction rails. The load current from the substation flows through the catenary and returns to the substation flows through the feeder. Between two adjacent ATs, the load current fed from the catenary to the locomotive flows in the rail and is boosted up to the feeder through the neutral tap of ATs at left and right sides of the locomotive. At the points of substation and sectioning post, a dead zone known as neutral section is provided in OHE to avoid a wrong phase coupling. The power to the catenary and feeder on one side of the substation is fed by one feeder circuit breaker, even if there exist two breakers for one side, and each track is controlled by an interrupter. The two breakers are used as a stand-by for each other. For maintenance work and keeping the voltage drop within limits, one or more sub-sectioning and paralleling posts (known as SSP) are introduced between traction substation and a sectioning and paralleling post (known as SP). A SSP on a double track section normally has four sectioning interrupters and one paralleling interrupter. In case of fault, the feeder circuit breaker of the substation isolates it. A figure showing the principle of AT feeding system and a typical power supply diagram showing the general feeding arrangement at a traction substation and sections of the OHE are given in the sketch at the Appendix-V.

2 x 25kV OHE & Traction transformer Electric Parameters: The OHE is made up of a stranded cadmium copper catenary of 65 sq. mm or a stranded aluminum alloy catenary of 116 sq. mm and a grooved contact wire of 107 sq. mm making up a total of 150 sq. mm or 140 sq. mm copper equivalent, respectively. As a feeder wire, a stranded aluminum alloy of 240 sq. mm. is used. The calculated OHE impedance value of AT feeding circuit (OHE: Al 116-Cu 107 sq. mm. Feeder wire: Al 240 sq. mm) for a single track line is 0.0601 + j 0.1419 ohms/km (at25kV system impedance).
4.3.1
Traction transformer The percentage impedance of a 2x25 MVA, 220/2x25 kV Scott- connect or V- connected transformer and a 20 MVA, 132/2x25 kV single-phase transformer are 12% ( at 27 MVA base) and 12% (at 21.6 MVA base), respectively.
4.3.2
Clearance at Substations: Normally a minimum clearance of 500 mm is provided between any live part at 25 kV and earth.
4.4 4.4.1
Nature of faults on the OHE System OHE is subjected to frequent earth faults caused by failure of insulation, snapping of OHE and touching the rail or earth, or loose wires carried by birds coming in contact with OHE below over-line structures, miscreant activities etc. These faults are cleared by the feeder circuit breaker which operates on any one or both of the following relays depending on the proximity of the fault. 1. Distance relay 2. Delta I type fault selective relay 3. Instantaneous over current relay Inadvertent coupling of two phases between adjacent substations at the neutral section or at intermediate switching stations in case of extended feed, causes short circuit. This is cleared by tripping of one of the feeder breakers at the two ends through Wrong phase coupling relays
4.4.2

4.5 Short Circuit level :
Page 8 of 34
The source impedance for different grid supply voltages based on a three phase symmetrical short circuit level are generally between 2000 and 10000 MVA depending upon the proximity of the traction substation to the generating station. The actual values of fault levels which are depending upon the location of the traction substation shall however be furnished by the Railways in the particular specification attached with the tender papers. 4.6 4.6.1 Nature of load on the 2x25 kV system : Traction load is of frequent and rapidly varying nature and may fluctuate between no-load and overloads. The system is also subject to frequent short circuits due to earth faults. It is difficult, therefore, to forecast precisely the load cycle of traction service because of the non-uniform pattern of traffic, which is different on different days. The conventional AC electric locomotives are fitted for conversion of ac to dc, with single phase bridge-connected silicon rectifiers with smoothing reactor for feeding the dc traction motors. The ripple current is in the region of 25 to 40%, which introduces harmonics in the 25kV power supply. There are some locomotives based on thyristor control, which are having higher harmonics generation. The typical percentages of harmonics present in the traction current with diode rectifier and the Thyristor locomotives are as follows : Current harmonics (%) with Rectifier Thyristor rd 3 harmonics (150 Hz) 15% 23% 5th harmonics (250 Hz) 6% 14% 7th harmonics (150 Hz) 4% 10% These are the typical values and measurements have indicated that these can be higher at lower loads and lower at higher loads. 4.6.3 The average power factor of electric traction and multiple unit trains generally varies between 0.7 and 0.8 lagging without compensation. In big yards and loco sheds, a number of locomotives stand idle with only the load of their auxiliaries drawing higher reactive power. The load power factor is, therefore, rather low. In addition to above IR is having locomotives and EMUs fitted with 3-phase drives having regenerative braking capabilities. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Rating and other particulars The capacitor bank installation shall be designed for the following ratings and other particulars. i) System - 2x2kV AT Feeding system ii) Nominal system voltage - 25kV (phase to earth) ii) Possible variation in the 19.0 to 27.5 (Sometimes touching30kV) traction supply voltage iii) Equipment voltage class - 52 kV iv) Rated frequency - 50 Hz 3% v) Average power factor of the - Between 0.7 and 0.8 lagging (the exact traction system value to be indicated in the tender)
