What will I learn?
This Electric Traction Course offers a focused look at modern tram traction systems, covering safety, protection, EMC, performance targets, and vehicle dynamics. You will learn to estimate power and energy needs, size motors and storage, evaluate supply options, and use regenerative braking plus energy management strategies for efficient, reliable urban tramway operations in a short, hands-on programme.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design tram traction power: size motors, inverters, and DC supply quickly.
- Estimate tram energy use: kWh per km, gradients, stops, and auxiliaries.
- Apply regenerative braking: maximise recovered energy on urban tram lines.
- Ensure traction safety: grounding, clearances, protection, and EMC compliance.
- Model tram performance: grades, dwell times, adhesion, and acceleration.
