Siemens will provide the complete traction power supply for the first section of metro line 1 in Lima, which covers around 9 km. The first section of line 1 was installed in 1995, so the traction power supply for this section now needs to be modernized.
The scope of supply by Siemens includes the installation, commissioning and overhaul of four traction power substations, six medium voltage cabinets for the stations between section Villa El Salvador to Atocongo. Siemens will install, test and commission the overhead catenary system for the main line as well as the Scada system (supervisory control and data acquisition) for monitoring and controlling the traction power supply will also be upgraded.
The modern power supply, upgrading of existing overhead contact line system and modifications to electrification in the depots will increase both the availability and the cost-effectiveness of the rail route.
