Metro Trains Electrical Networks - Understanding our traction system

When working in the vicinity of Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) electrical overhead assets, it is important that you understand the requirements of the network operator for your safety, and the safety of those around you. This includes having an understanding of all components of the overhead line equipment, their associated voltages and the potential hazards you may face when working near our electrical overhead assets.
This video provides an understanding of the traction system, including:
1. components that make up the system;
2. switching protocols; and
3. how the system functions and interaction back to the electrical control centre.
A core intent of the video is to support the development, training, and awareness for both employees and the wider industry.
