TÜV SÜD Schweiz AG
Rail Power Supply Services
Rail power systems services support the railway industry with independent verification in optimising their railway power supply systems to accommodate rising energy demands, ensure constant availability and meet energy efficiency requirements. Due to growing challenges, ageing assets and complex operating environments, manufacturers also have to ensure that new components and complete systems are designed with reliability, availability, maintainability, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety in mind. Testing services for rail power systems involve safety assessment and management, safety assessment of design and interoperability, traction power simulation, specification of main equipment and design review conducted by independent experts.
