Modernization of power supply system
25.11.2009
On 23 November, 2009, VUZ officially received a modernized substation. Along with the major subcontractors, Elektrizace železnic, Elektromont servis Brno and PEG, the general construction contractor, Chládek a Tintěra Pardubice, handed over the work to the investor, Railway Research Institute, about a month in advance. The substation´s functional test operation commenced as early as on 16 October, 2009. The substation is once again fully ready to provide the VUZ customers with services. It can operate at all common traction systems and its performance has increased to 10 MW/25 kV, 9 MW/15 kV in the alternating rail set and to 10 MW/3 kV and 5 MW/1.5 kV or 750 V in a direct rail set. In all traction systems, recovery and deep regulation are possible (for details see our website, the VUZ Test Centre Velim).
