What does a traction substation do on the railroad?

Traction substations are key pieces of railway infrastructure. Their mission is simple but fundamental: to convert and supply the electrical energy necessary for trains to run constantly, safely and efficiently. Without them, rail mobility would be unthinkable.

What is a traction substation project?

1. Power conversion and supplyThe substations take power from the general grid and adapt it to the specific needs of the trains (high voltage, direct current or alternating current, depending on the case).
2. Protection and controlThe energy must flow without interruptions, and this is where the control and protection systems come in, monitoring the substation status and activating protections if anomalies are detected.
3. Construction and equipmentThis includes civil works and installation of all electrical and control systems necessary for the safe operation of the substation.
