Adelaide Rail Electrification

ENOTRAC has recently been awarded a contract for the power system study for the Adelaide Rail Electrification project, South Australia. Working for and with the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) ENOTRAC will assess the proposed design for the 25 kV booster transformer electrification scheme. The work will cover loading, power quality and EMC studies.

The Adelaide passenger railway network consists of around 250 single track kilometres over four main lines and two spur lines. The electrified network will support increased levels of service, operating a mix of converted 3000 Class rolling stock and the new 4000 Class EMUs due to arrive in 2012.

The electrification of Adelaide's metropolitan rail network is a joint investment between the South Australian State Government and the Australian Federal Government.
