Who Should Attend?

This course introduces many of the fundamentals of rail traction power and overhead contact systems. If you work in this area or need to understand the concepts related to electrically-powered rail systems, this is the course for you. Although this is a “fundamentals” course, it will be most beneficial to attendees who have at least a limited knowledge of the topics of electrical traction power.
