Abstract: A superconducting power cable is an application of high-temperature superconductors. Even though superconducting power cables have been developed worldwide for the grid application here the focus is on railway application. Introducing superconducting power cables effectively and economically to a DC electric railway is suggested. The aim is to upgrade the feeder of the overhead contact line system using superconducting power cables. The fault current of dc electric railway feeding systems using superconducting power cables is analyzed. MATLAB Simulink electric circuit models based on a model railway line are constructed for numerical analysis of short-circuits and grounding faults. Influence of introducing superconducting power cables under different fault conditions is analyzed.
