CALCULATION OF THE OPTIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TRACTION CURRENT SUB-STATIONS OF ELECTRIFIED RAILWAYS

The article describes a method for the calculation of the optimum distance between the traction current substations of d.c. and a.c. electrified single and double track lines. The method is based on theoretical research, the analysis of completed railway electrification projects and studies of the working of existing electrified railway lines. The Scientific Research Institute as well as other planning and Teaching Institutes participated in the working out of the method.
