 Abstract   The european railways are characterized by a wide range of supply voltage systems. To allow flexible operation of electric locomotives and short stops at system borders, multi-system locomotives are necessary. The paper describes the requirements for multi-system traction converters and compares different solutions. The key device for simple traction converters operating under 3 kV line voltage is the 6.5kV IGBT. The paper explains the behaviour of the field-stop IGBT, especially in comparison with conventional NPT-IGBT.
