Abstract - The involvement of autotransformers in a 2x25 kV traction system increases the severity of faults. Unattended faults lead to component failure, making reliability planning essential for the system. This paper proposes a method of estimating the fault current variation with fault location using a node-…

Abstract - The paper presents a simple approach to determine optimal substation spacing in a 2x25kV traction power supply system (TPSS). Economy, being one of the significant design parameters of TPSS, is affected by the number of traction substations (TSS) or distance between them. Hence, this paper highlights the…
