DC/DC CONVERTER FOR THE ELECTRICAL BRAKING SYSTEM OF LOCOMOTIVE E103 OF THE GERMAN FEDERAL RAILWAYS

GLEICHSTROMUMRICHTER FUER DIE ELEKTRISCHE BREMSE DER SERIENLOKOMOTIVE E 103

To enable the traction motors to form the excitation power from their own braking power a d.c./d.c. converter is employed. This consists of an inverter and a rectifier. The inverter, which is connected in a controlled bridge arrangement with four main thyristors, two turn-off thyristors and load-dependent charging of the turn-off capacitors, can hanlde an unusually large input voltage range from 50 tp 550 V. An uncontrolled rectifier in single-phase bridge connection is arraged on the output side of the inverter.
