 Abstract   Traditional heavy ac traction systems use locomotives with bulky onboard transformers, which can be reduced in size if new conversion systems are designed. Assumed as performance indicator the probability to collect a delay during a travel, aim of this paper is to estimate the impact of power components reliability on the stochastic performances of an ac loco non-conventional traction drive, which allows to use a transformer system of greatly reduced size while obtaining excellent technical performances, and to evaluate the effectiveness of such a configuration through a comparison with a conventional architecture.
