explain about the electrification in the Indian Railways?
ie., how the power is taken and used to drive the train?
explain with the block diagram??

Answer Posted / guest

25kv AC line normally used, current collector pentograph is
used to collect current then this power transform to a lower
level(voltage) by transformer. now this power is converted to
DC and used to drive DC motors. these DC Motors drive the
train.
25 KV AC supply collected from the Grid and transmitted in the
railway grid along the tracks boosters are arranged at
different section to maintain voltage level.
