Decided by: Education Board 4
Date of Decision: 2012-02-14
Compulsory for: IBYI2
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish
The aim of the course is to provide fundamental knowledge of electric power in railways, on system and component levels. It is also intended to give an insight into the problems of overhead contact line installation in the projection of simpler contact line installation
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
be able to describe and understand the construction and functions of electrical installations and control of active and reactive power, and be informed about the prerequisites that apply in the operation of installations.
be able to give an account of different electrical installations that are parts of the operation of electric railway traffic with respect to both function and the essential connections with the parts of the installation.
be able to give an account of the contact network’s construction and the interaction of the vehicle, contact network and other electrified power systems for electrified railways.
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
take into consideration the prevailing regulations and handbooks and project a simpler catenary system installation.
be familiar with the documentation concerning power supply installations and interpret the functions of different installation sections with the help of drawings and other documents.
give an account of the project work in the projection of a simpler catenary system installation.
