Traction power supply systems guarantee the power supply for main-line railways and mass transit. They are differentiated between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC):

DC (direct current) AC (alternating current)
750 V (600 V) 15 kV, 16,7 Hz
tram and trolley-bus, metro and suburban rail
(600 V only addition)
main line railways and mass transit
1500 V 25 kV, 50/60 Hz
metro and suburban rail with own track
main line railways and mass transit (addition of completed routes)
main line railways and mass transit
3000 V 2 x 25 kV, 50/60 Hz AT System
main line railways (addition of completed routes) high-power and high-speed main line
Siemens offers the suitable solution for all systems: high voltage switchgears, medium voltage switchgears, transformers, rectifiers, protection, substation control and SCADA (System Control And Data Acquisition).
