Abstract: ONIXä is the standard ALSTOM IGBT converter range for traction applications. This article explains the new ONIXä development for 3 kV DC catenary network applications. Up-to-now the realisation of 3 kV DC railway converter required specific use of low voltage semi-conductor to sustain the 3 kV voltage. Now it becomes possible to use the simple 2-level inverter scheme to realise a 3kV converter for railway traction. This paper will explain the main choices and original application for the 3 kV traction converter and the integration in a cubicle.

Abstract: The modernization of the railway wagons for passengers able to operate the international traffic of European countries are focused on the static converters for auxiliary services. Those converters are supplied through an internal link with four ranges of voltage: 1500 Vac, 50Hz; 1000 Vac, 16 2/3 Hz; 1500 Vdc; 3000 Vdc. The outputs of such converters usually are: 1) 28 Vdc for accumulators and control equipment, with respect for temperature range, charging current (70…100Adc) and overall current(200…250Adc); 2) 3x400Vac, 2…50 Hz, 15…30 kVA for induction motor of air conditioning systems; 3) 3x400Vac, 50 Hz, 10…45 kVA for heating resistors; 4) 230 Vac, 50 Hz for various devices as fans, water heaters, dust cleaners, coffee filters, shavers, laptops. 5) ICPE SAERP has designed and produces 18 of such high complexity converters. Only a few European companies are able to produce such converters. The conception of our technical diagrams and solutions is new, modern and patented (The paper will describe them). The control, the regulations and diagnose of the converters are performed by microprocessor control units, and the inverters are based on IGBT transistors.
