Actual measurements were used in the performed analysis. This time, the analysis was focused on the characteristics of maximum loads and overloads for time periods of five minutes and sixty minutes, for a number of selected cases. The second part of the article discusses the effectiveness of the use of artificial neural networks of the feedforward type with one hidden layer with eight neurons to analyse the overloads of the traction substation over a longer time scale. The obtained positive results indicate that this type of research should be continued, using different variants of artificial neural networks.
