PROBLEM OF EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY ON METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS. DESCRIPTION OF THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

IL PROBLEMA DELLA ALIMENTAZIONE DI EMERGENZE NELLE FERROVIE METROPOLITANE. DESCRIZIONE DELLE SOLUZIONI POSSIBILI

The problem of the continuity of power supply on the underground metropolitan railways is considered. A review of the various possible solutions is given, bringing out, in particular, two systems based, respectively, on the adoption of inverters or direct current motors coupled with synchronous generators), very similar in principle, but very different from the point of view of technical realization. The technological content of these systems is, however, so high that both are in a position to guarantee an extremely high level of trustworthiness.
