Products:

All of our components and systems are developed and manufactured in Germany, guaranteeing top-quality production and precision. Our expertise spans railway electrification systems, including overhead contact line systems, traction power supply, and auxiliary power solutions for mainline and urban transport.

While Rail Power Systems provides its TracFeed® products and expertise worldwide, our installation services are limited to Germany. This ensures high-quality standards and timely, cost-effective project delivery. We offer a comprehensive range of services for international projects, from system design and the supply of high-quality components to their integration into reliable, safe and efficient railway infrastructures.

Key Areas of Expertise:

Overhead Contact Lines & Conductor Rails: Rail Power Systems covers a wide range of applications, from mass transit (e.g. TracFeed® ALU1000) to high-speed systems (TracFeed® ALU3000), including overhead contact lines, conductor rails, and third rail components.
Customised Modular Solutions: Whether you require a complete turnkey system or individual service modules, we provide tailored solutions. We coordinate all subservices to create an integrated system that meets the specific requirements of each project, ensuring high-quality and cost-effective outcomes.
Railway Power Supply Systems: Rail Power Systems offers an extensive range of solutions for AC and DC railway power supply systems. These include DC substations in container design ideal for quick and efficient setup in urban and regional transport systems, as well as robust equipment for AC und DC power supply. With a focus on ensuring compatibility and flexibility, our systems are suitable for a variety of applications in urban and regional transport.
Protection and Control Technology: We offer protection and control solutions for electrified railway and mass transit systems, ensuring safe and reliable operation. Our offerings include protection concepts, dynamic load flow analysis, and electromagnetic compatibility calculations, tailored to the specific needs of each project.
System Design & Planning: Rail Power Systems excels in designing and optimizing electrified railway infrastructures and power supply systems. We perform comprehensive system analysis and carry out dynamic simulations. Our planning expertise extends to electrical network conversions and weak-point analysis, ensuring that all systems are future-proof and optimized for maximum efficiency.
