This is a list of the power supply systems that are, or have been, used for railway electrification. Note that the voltages are nominal and vary depending on load and distance from the substation. As of 2023 many trams and trains use on-board solid-state electronics to convert these supplies to run three-phase AC traction motors.
There are many other voltage systems used for railway electrification systems around the world, and the list of railway electrification systems covers both standard voltage and non-standard voltage systems. The permissible range of voltages allowed for the standardised voltages is as stated in standards BS EN 50163 [13] and IEC 60850. [14]
This first electrification system with GE-built boxcabs were the only three-phase AC power ever used on North America railroads, see Three-phase AC railway electrification. The electric boxcabs pulled trains through the tunnel with their steam locomotives still attached until they were retired in 1927.
This system was initially deployed on San'yō Shinkansen in Japan in 1972 and in Paris-Lyon High speed rail line in France in 1981, [10] and has gone on to be used by New Zealand Railways in 1988, [11] Indian Railways, [12] Russian Railways, Italian High Speed Railways, UK High Speed 1, most of the West Coast Main Line and Crossrail, [13] with ...
