a small, isolated railway line used for transporting materials within a factory complex. This line is powered by a DC traction system. The problem is that the voltage at the far end of the line drops significantly when a train is drawing a large current, causing the train to slow down, especially when starting or climbing a grade. The series booster provides a voltage boost that increases with the load current, compensating for the voltage drop in the line. The booster's field winding is in series with the load, making the boost proportional to the current demand. This method is particularly useful in applications with long supply lines and variable loads, such as traction systems, mining operations, and electroplating.
