As part of the 14-mile Central Link light-rail project, a traction electrification system will be installed. Mass Electric Construction Co. is designing, furnishing and installing the system.
The traction electrification system for a typical modern light-rail system includes an overhead contact system, traction power substations and feeder cables, together with associated substation protective devices, and supervisory control and data acquisition.
The contact system’s elements include catenary poles, overhead wires and system hardware. Included are substation DC feeder cables and sectionalizing switches.
