List of railway electrification systems

This is a list of the power supply systems that are, or have been, used for tramway and railway electrification systems.

Note that the voltages are nominal and vary depending on load and distance from the substation.

Many modern trams and trains use on-board solid-state electronics to convert these supplies to run three-phase AC induction motors.

Trams electrification systems are listed here.

gollark: I also just looked that up, my powers of thing-looking-up are invincible, etc.
gollark: Also, I just duckduckgoed it and have a rough idea of what it is now, muahahaha.
gollark: I mean, you can just use <#424419879853096961> for all this stuff, although with the impending reshufflement maybe there's a better chance of getting new channels implemented.
gollark: Really? Huh.
