Power is transmitted to electric railway locomotives and vehicles using DC or single-phase AC networks. The parallel development of traction technology in industrialised countries has led to a plethora of different electrification systems. This article covers the electrical engineering aspects of DC and single-phase AC traction power transmission systems.
