INSTALLATION OF DRAIN TRANSFORMERS WHILE ELECTRIFYING GOODS TRAFFIC BYPASS IN HAMBURG

The earth return currents can be controlled by means of drain transformers, according to the Swedish experience. The author describes the results achieved within the freight train bypass in Hamburg. The EMI has been greatly suppressed but at the same time the line impedance went up from 0.22 ohms/km to 0.38 ohms/km so that the power substations had to be closer or larger conductor sizes used.
