Voltage transient management for Alternating Current trains with vacuum circuit breakers by Thomas Moore, Felix Schmid, Pietro Tricoli

“…Abstract Alternating current power supplies and rolling stock with 25 kV (50 or 60 Hz) and 15 kV (16.7 Hz) traction systems do not have the characteristics and behaviour of a typical three‐phase medium‐voltage distribution system. Switching inductive loads with a vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) in MV traction systems poses familiar challenges as well as some unique challenges, such as the crossing of phase change neutral sections. …”
