Project Description

Metra will install a new switchgear system that can supply Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC) switchgear along the Metra Electric (ME) Line. This project will replace obsolete assets with a new system designed to protect the DC powered railway line and integrated with high-speed circuit breakers for the rectifier, the power feeder, and the backup application to prevent safety incidents.
