Abstract :
The system selected by Caltrain for the commuter rail line electrification is an autotransformer- fed system. The system comprises three major parts: - traction power supply system including traction power substations located along the route at predetermined spacing - traction power distribution system consisting of overhead catenary system, feeder system, paralleling stations, and a switching station - traction power return system comprising running rails, impedance bonds, cross bonds, static wire, and ground.
