On Italian High-Speed/High-Capacity (HS/HC) routes, the network is electrified using the 2×25 kV AC system. These electrical traction installations are engineered to meet the demanding performance requirements of high-speed rail, where trains operate at speeds up to 300 km/h, draw pantograph power loads of up to 12 MW, and run at traffic frequencies of up to one train every 5 minutes. Each traction substation is capable of powering substantial route sections, averaging 50 km in length.

On conventional 3 kV DC lines, the substations serve as the primary conversion and distribution points feeding power to the contact lines, ensuring a reliable supply to various line sections and station hubs. Their configuration, which relies on multiple feeders, robust protection systems, and supervisory remote control, allows for highly flexible operational management. This framework guarantees service continuity even during traction system faults or network disruptions.

Beyond conventional and high-speed substation installations, our expertise extends to developing cutting-edge solutions by integrating innovative components. These include Static Frequency Converters (SFC), Static Var Compensators (SVC), highly modular prefabricated containerized enclosures, gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) converters, and the development of reversible substations equipped with regenerative braking energy recovery systems. Backed by this extensive know-how, we deliver practical, efficient, and deployable solutions tailored to our clients' needs.
