This volume surveys how alternating currents power electric trains, trams, and rail cars. It combines theory with practical design, installation, and operation guidance for engineers working with three‑phase and single‑phase systems.

The book covers the principles behind polyphase railway motors, the control and equipment of rolling stock, overhead wire and feeder systems, and the methods used to estimate energy use and operating costs. It also explains how to calculate performance, select components, and plan reliable traction installations.

Design and analysis of polyphase and single‑phase traction motors, including illustrated methods and calculations.
Control systems and equipment for electric rolling stock on three‑phase and single‑phase networks.
Overhead construction, line wiring, and feeder arrangements for electric railways.
Economic considerations, first costs, operating expenses, and energy consumption calculations.

Ideal for engineers, senior technicians, and students seeking a solid, reference‑level understanding of electric traction systems and their practical implementation.
