Fault Impedance Calculation as Autotransformer Tab Change in Traction Power Supply System

초록

AC traction power supply system has adopted autotransformer (AT) feeding method. This system has an advantage as long feeding distance. However, the countermeasure for voltage drop should be considered, because load capacity grows larger and headway grows shorter in recent electric railway system. This paper proposes the improved system configuration to enhance voltage drop in ac railway system without additional power electronic device and investigates fault analysis as autotransformer tap change.
