A new tram route to Sykhiv was opened in Lviv
The new tram line was built in the city for the first time within the last 30 years. It has connected the largest residential area Sykhiv, which is home to about 150,000 residents of Lviv, with the city center. Total length of the new tram line is 11.5 km. 
As noted by Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy — "Tram to Sykhiv" is one of the largest infrastructural projects implemented in Ukraine since independence times. The capacity of the new line is up to 8 thousand passengers per hour. It is expected that 48 thousand Lviv residents will use the tram daily.
PLUTON, one of the leaders in the field of power distribution equipment, has developed and implemented a simple and unique solution for the new line power supply - a modern three-unit modular traction substation. The modular substation is unique and built using innovative technical solutions designed to significantly reduce substation operating costs and extend the life of the equipment.

Specialists of the company implemented a "turn-key" project, including a full range of works: installation, commissioning and start-up of the substation.
The reliable power supply is provided with a modern system of traction equipment, which is automatically controlled by the SCADA system. All systems control voltage supply is provided by auxiliaries system. The modular substation is equipped with lighting, ventilation, air-conditioning, heating, and is equipped with a fire alarm system.
All substation equipment conforms to international standards, ensures reliability of power supply, safe operation, and easy maintenance. A distinctive feature of equipment produced by PLUTON is a built-in modern microprocessor control system providing monitoring of parameters, diagnostics, protection, logging of all transient processes, analysis, and implementation of control algorithms.
The modular substation is equipped with a modern integrated SCADA system using the main (FOCL) and backup (GSM) communication channels. SCADA system allows the operator to make the necessary switching of substation equipment and constantly monitor its operation remotely from the operator control center. Thus, the modular substation does not require the constant presence of personnel, and its maintenance is limited only by periodic technical inspections.
PLUTON congratulates residents of Lviv with the opening of a new tram line and wishes this project to become the starting point for further development of the city transport infrastructure!
