DEFINITION OF NEWARK CITY SUBWAY TRACTION POWER SYSTEM

To define a new traction power system for Newark City Subway, a number of substation design isues were identified, each with at least two options. In order to provide NJ TRANSIT with a basis for their decision making process, and to provide input to the system preliminary and final engineering, the issues and their options were evaluated based on technical factors, equipment availability, safety, reliability, installation costs, and maintenance costs, as appropriate. This paper considers each design issue and examines the merits of the options available. Relative advantages and disadvantages of the options are compared and recommendations are made as to the most suitable selections for the NJ TRANSIT project.
