CONVERSION FROM THREE-PHASE AC TO DC AND ITS RECENT EVOLUTION AT RATP

LA CONVERSION TRIPHASE-CONTINU ET SON EVOLUTION RECENTE A LA RATP

The characteristics inherent to an electric system of distribution for a city railway are noted. In the Underground Railway in Paris, the considerable kVA demands, the need for a high level security of supply, the limited space available for equipment and the problems of numerous hindrances affect to a large extent the choices of equipments as much for rectifier substations as for the associated HV, MV and LV networks. Particular attention must be paid to protective devices for safeguarding against faults on the dc circuits. All these equipments, fitted with local automatisms, are remote-controlled and remote-monitored from a centralizing supervisory room.
