Converter Line KIEPE Mainline Platform

Flexible and powerful traction and auxiliary power supply for mainline vehicles 

 

Technical Description

The mainline platform has been developed to offer suitable solutions for different traction and auxiliary power supply concepts, from metro applications up to mainline locomotives with a high degree of flexibility and as little need for adjustments as possible. The traction platform consists of 2- and 3- phase converter modules which can be flexibly switched by means of standardized control interfaces to required topologies. Thus, all functions (4QS, traction inverter or battery controller) can be realized optimally.

All interfaces of the modules for auxiliary power supply are adapted to the traction platform for easy integration in one container. Modular design coupled with high power density makes the platform particularly attractive for retrofit projects as well. Both the complete device and the individual converter modules can be replaced within the existing container.

 

Highlights

  • Universal converter modules for all applications (traction inverters, brake chopper, 4- quadrant converter for AC supply grids, buck/boost converters for traction batteries or fuel cells, auxiliary power units)
  • Traction power from 200 kW up to 1400 kW per output
  • Auxiliary power supply from 50 kW up to 200 kW
  • Three standardized module sizes depending on power rating
  • Three voltage levels in standardized mechanical design: 750 V, 1500 V, 3000 V
  • Mechanical interfaces optimized for roof, underfloor and cabinet installation
  • Variants for forced air and water cooling
  • Development and documentation in compliance with SIL2 according to EN 50129
