SCOTT CONNECTED TRANSFORMER AUTO TRANSFORMER
1. Drives 2-Phase electric power from a 3-Phase
2. Combination of two single phase transformers
Scott Connected 3. Has two 27 KV winding secondary windings at each
1
Transformer Main and Teaser Phase.
4. O&M are almost same as traction transformer of
conventional system
1. Transforms feeder to catenary voltage to catenary to
rail voltage.
2. Results in a system with lower voltage drop along the
2 Auto Transformer
alignment than is possible with 25 kV direct‐fed system,
resulting in an improved train voltage profi le along the
line.

2X25 KV AUTO TRANSFORMER FEEDING SYSTEM
ADVANTAGES:
1. Utilization of 54 KV traction
power instead of 25 KV with the
help of AT and feeder.
2. Less voltage drop in feeder
circuit.
3.Large spacing of traction
substations.
4. Less telecommunication
interferences.
4. Suitable for heavy haul and
high speed operation.

AUTO FAULT LOCATOR
1. Faulty sub-sector is identified with provision of "Auto Fault
1. The fault is accurately located by
Segregation Scheme" through the SCADA system
sensing auto-transformer current.
2. The fault locating technique is cumbersome and time consuming. 2. Fast Power supply restoration

AUTOMATIC POWER FACTOR POWER CORRECTION EQUIPMENT AT DFCC TSS:
PFC FOR IR – STATIC COMPENSATOR PFC FOR DFCC – STATIC & DYNAMIC COMPENSATOR
ADVANTAGE::
Power factor improvement: Conventional system improves power factor normally from .75
to .85, whereas APF improves power factor from .85 to .95
Avoids leading power factor (PF>1): To safeguard supply source
Reduction in maximum demand : Direct saving in Electricity Bill
