Study Notes
Traction Converter Cubicle
- The traction converter cubicle is a complete unit in the motor coach's high-tension compartment
- The traction control unit (TCU) is housed within the cabinet
- Nominal input voltage is 2 x 950 V AC, 50 Hz / 1500V DC
- AC mode input voltage range: 627 V - 1083 V AC, related to 16.5-28.5 kV line voltage
- AC mode input frequency range: 46 Hz - 54 Hz
- DC mode input voltage range: 800 V - 1800 V DC
- Nominal DC link circuit voltage: AC Mode 1800 V, DC Mode 1500 V
- Power factor in AC at different loads and line voltages: approximately unity
Electrical System
- The traction converter uses a dual voltage system (1500V DC or 950V, 1-phase, 50Hz AC, 25KV AC line)
- It includes two four-quadrant choppers, a DC link, and two PWM inverters, each powering two traction motors
- Other components include DC link capacitors, contactors, transducers, blowers, and Siemens' Traction control unit (TCU) SIBAS® 32S for control/monitoring.
