Popis: The subject of this paper deals with the reliability of the power supply and quality of electricity on the railway networks. The paper discusses the impact of changes in the area of traction substation load on parameters characterizing the quality of electricity. It analyses the quality of electricity in supply networks for the traction substation, as well as on auxiliary lines and in trackside power supply. Particular attention is given to the propagation of interference caused by traction DC appliances for the trackside power supply. This is important due to the fact that these networks provide the power supply for devices that are responsible for the safety of train traffic. The paper also discusses the impact of major failures (blackouts) in power systems on transport, especially rail transport.
