28-531: Is a list of the power supply systems that are, or have been, used for railway electrification . Note that the voltages are nominal and vary depending on load and distance from the substation. As of 2023 many trams and trains use on-board solid-state electronics to convert these supplies to run three-phase AC traction motors. Tram electrification systems are listed here . Voltages are defined by two standards: BS EN 50163 and IEC 60850. Gudogai (BCh) route for Vilnius – Minsk (Belarus) services
