Abstract:
Urban traction systems such as subways and trams transport millions of people every day.
Hebron city suffers from the traffic issues, in order to solve the problem, a tramway network
will be established in Ein Sara with 3.2 Km track covered with 7 passenger station spaced
each 550 m. A brief introduction about electrical railway has been introduced and railway
dynamics have been illustrated. DC traction substation was rated and located and the
required equipment were selected. A proper earthing system for DC system and equipment
was illustrated and current return circuit was designed. Over-head contact lines system and
suspension system were designed. A protection scheme for DC traction system was designed.
Also the system was simulated to study the system performance.
