OHE Works
Overhead Electrification (OHE) works in electrical engineering are essential for powering railway networks, metro systems, and industrial transport lines. OHE involves the installation of catenary wires, contact wires, insulators, traction substations, and supporting structures to supply high-voltage electricity to electric locomotives and transit systems. Designed for efficient energy transmission, OHE systems typically operate at 25kV AC or 750V DC, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted railway operations. Proper tensioning and alignment of overhead wires minimize power losses and maintain consistent electrical supply. Compliance with RDSO, IEC, and railway safety standards ensures reliability and safety in railway electrification. Advanced monitoring technologies, such as SCADA-based remote diagnostics and thermal imaging, help detect faults and prevent failures. Regular maintenance, including checking wire integrity, insulator performance, and substation efficiency, enhances the longevity and performance of OHE systems. With the shift toward sustainable transport, modern OHE solutions integrate regenerative braking and energy-efficient grid management, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
