POWER FACTOR IN STATIC CONVERTERS ON RAIL MOTOR CARS FED BY OVERHEAD CONTACT WIRES

DER LEISTUNGSFAKTOR BEI STROMRICHTERN AUF FAHRDRAHTGESPEISTEN SCHIENENFAHRZEUGEN

The relationships of the power factor in rectifiers is discussed, with emphasis on its properties in the presence of light network impedances. The value and definition of the power factor according to the German standard DIN 40110 are considered. Conclusions for the operation of rectifiers on electric trains are presented. Illustrative examples of computed values for the power factor are included.
