List of installations for 15 kV AC railway electrification in Germany, Austria and Switzerland

List of installations for 15 kV AC railway electrification in Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Add article description


Germany, Austria and Switzerland operate the largest interconnected 15 kV 16.7 Hz system, which has central generation, a special transmission network, central and decentral converter plants.

Map of the high voltage power grid used for power supply of electric railways in Germany, Switzerland and Austria

Germany

In Germany, the voltage of traction current grid is 110 kV. In the Northeastern parts of Germany there is no traction current grid, as decentralized converter plants situated at the substations are used.

Central converter plants

In these facilities AC from the public grid is transformed into single phase AC and fed into traction current grid. At some facilities, power is also fed to the overhead wires. Conversion is made by machines or by electronic means.

Decentral converter plants

In these facilities AC from the public grid is transformed into single phase AC and fed only to the overhead wires. Conversion is made by machines or by electronic means.

Switzerland

In Switzerland, the voltage levels of the traction power grid are 132 kV/66 kV. At Muttenz and Etzwilen, there are transformers for coupling to 110 kV level of the traction power grid of Germany.

Substations

In these facilities electricity is transformed down from 132 kV or 66 kV to 15 kV. There is no conversion or generation of power.

Austria

In Austria, the voltage of traction current grid is 110 kV, except of the lines Meidling-Hütteldorf, Hütteldorf-Auhof, Hütteldorf-Floridsdorf, Floridsdorf-Simmering and Meidling-Simmering, which are operated with 55 kV.

Substations

In these facilities electricity is transformed down from 110/55 kV-level of OBB to 15 kV. There is no conversion or generation of power.
