The DC power is supplied by what are called DC Traction Power Substations (TPSS). These specialised substations have the necessary equipment to safely and reliably convert incoming AC power into outgoing DC power to feed the rail system. This webinar discusses the basic power equipment elements\, appli cable industry standards as well as industry practices applied to DC Tract ion Power Substations found across North America with a focus on Light Rai l DC Traction Power Substations. This topic is interesting as it provides a basic understanding of the design behind the DC power supply for Light r ail trains as more projects are being design and built in Canada and aroun d the world.\n\n"Fine Print"\n\n- The webinar is free for active IEEE memb ers.\n- There is a $5 registration fee for people who are not active IEEE members.\n\n- The fee must be paid in advance through the registration pro cess below (credit card through PayPal) in order to receive the link to th e webinar.\n- Upon successful payment of the fee\, you will receive 2 emai ls: one from noreply_vtools@ieee.org with title "IEEE vTools Reservation C onfirmation\," and a second from service@intl.paypal.com with title "Your payment to The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers\, Inc."
