FEASIBILITY AND CONVENIENCE OF 6000 V DIRECT CURRENT ELECTRIC TRACTION

FATTIBILITA' E CONVENIENZA DELLA TRAZIONE ELETTRICA IN CORRENTE CONTINUA A 6000 V

Results of a study of the feasibility and advantages of a changeover from 3 kV to 6 kV dc electric traction on Italian State Railroads are presented. The scope and methods of the study are described. Specific problems, connected with voltage increase, and affecting contact lines, power substations, motors and converters, and signaling are discussed. This theoretical investigation shows the possibility of transition to 6 kV traction. Finally, economic costs of such a transition are evaluated.
