SUMMARY:NSW Chapter Event: Upgrading railway electrification traction to 25 kV AC
DESCRIPTION:Join the RTSA New South Wales Chapter and the RTAA online for a presentation on Railway electrification: upgrading traction to 25kV AC\, the strategies\, the engineering and the challenges when converting legacy DC railway traction networks to high capacity\, AC networks. This webinar will be held at 7:00-8:30pm AEDT on Monday 8th November 2021. Click here to register on the Engineers Australia website. \nEvent Overview\nThe Railway Technical Society of Australasia and Rail Track Association Australia present this webinar that covers concepts many existing rail networks grapple with; if it is possible to\, and how to upgrade their traction system from direct current to alternating current. The webinar will draw on international experience and cover the considerations and impacts on the various railway disciplines when planning and delivering the conversion of the traction system. \nSpeakers\nPaul Costello\nManaging Director Electrification\, Keltbray International \nPaul is the Managing Director of Wentworth House Rail Systems (WHRS) Limited\, a Design and Assurance Consultancy which is part of the Keltbray Group.
