  • TRACK-BOUND VEHICLE CONVERTER
    Publication number: 20130147266
    Abstract: A track-bound vehicle converter comprises a block-wave generator (20) configured to be connected to a direct voltage source (21) and connected to a series resonance link (34), or to an inductive link, for providing the input of a direct converter (41) with semi sinusoidal current pulses. The direct converter has at least one phase leg (42-44) having on one hand one switch (45-47) connected to the link (34) and able to block voltages in both directions thereacross and conduct current in both directions therethrough and on the other a capacitor (48-50) connected in series therewith. The voltage across the capacitor (48-50) of the direct converter is used to provide a converter output with an alternating voltage.

  • ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX FOR A RAILWAY VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20130158753
    Abstract: An onboard electrical junction box. The onboard electrical junction box comprises an auto-change-over switch adapted to acquire: a first state wherein power is supplied to the electrical system from a power rail via at least one onboard power collector device; and a second state wherein power is supplied to the electrical system from a removable shore power source, wherein during operation in the second state, the at least one onboard power collector device is isolated from the power supplied by the removable shore power source. The onboard electrical junction box also comprises a switch control module in electrical communication with the auto-change-over switch for causing the auto-change-over switch to acquire the second state upon detection that: the removable shore power source has established an electrical connection with the onboard electrical junction box; and the electrical system of the vehicle is receiving power below a predetermined threshold.

  • Rail vehicle system
    Publication number: 20030084814
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rail vehicle system which has connecting bogies (2) and supply units (3), control units (4) and transportation units (5) which can be placed on said connecting bogies in order to form a train with a modular construction. The connecting bogies (2) contain at least two axles, one of which is equipped with an electrical drive/brake unit and which are configured so that they can be separated in a clutch-like manner. The supply units (3) contain vital devices such as current collectors, transformers and power converters for extracting power from a contact line and feeding it back into the contact line or converters of primary energy into electrical energy. The control units (4) can be configured to be independent of current and load. The transportation units (5) differ according to whether they are for transporting passengers or goods and according to the type of good being transported.
