Challenge	The Redfern Substation, a critical part of the Sydney Trains network, was running on aging equipment that needed to be upgraded. The substation, built in 1970, had limited space available for upgrades. The location of the switch room was directly above a platform at a critical station on the Sydney Trains Network, meaning any work would impact the schedule of regular commuter trains. The upgrade needed to be completed within a three-day period, making the logistics for an upgrade even more challenging. Read More
About Customer	Sydney Trains operates quick, frequent and reliable trains in the greater Sydney suburban area. It also operates and maintains the metropolitan rail network and provides maintenance services to NSW trains. The safe, reliable and efficient running of the Sydney trains network is essential to keep Sydney-siders on the move, reduce traffic congestion and support a cleaner, greener city. However, with an aging network and demand on the rise, Sydney Trains partnered with Schneider Electric to ensure its critical infrastructure is future-proofed. Read More
Solution	Schneider Electric proposed Premset to Sydney Trains, a new generation of switchgear technology that is compact, easy to install and robust enough to futureproof the ongoing safe, efficient operations of the Sydney Trains network for decades to come. Premset has a core focus on safety; the insulation and screening of all live parts ensure a trouble-free service life, while SF6-free technology enhances peace of mind. To minimise disruptions to the high volume of commuters that board and alight at Redfern Station, the Schneider Electric team worked to install Premset within a tight timeframe. Given its plug and play interface, Premset is by nature quick and easy to install. Its unique Harting connector and plug is capable of facilitating a number of wirings connected to a single plug. This helped to minimise the time needed on site for technicians to connect the individual operation wiring from panels to the freestanding control panel. Read More Log in to view content
