CONVERTERS FOR SUPPLYING ELECTRIC POWER TO THE 16 2/3-HZ RAILROAD NETWORK

UMRICHTER ZUR SPEISUNG DES 16 2/3-HZ-BAHN-NETZES

For hv dc transmission, reliable thyristors have been developed. This starting point gave the impulse for a renewed consideration of supplying single-phase ac railroad lines from the public three phase distribution network by means of converters. A converter with intermediate dc circuit for supplying the railroad hv distribution network is discussed. The intermediate circuit guarantees a low level of interference between the two connected networks; any action of the 33 1/3 Hz working oscillation on the three-phase network is being suppressed to a large extent. The design of the plant and the signal processing device enable the operation of the converter as a control device in combined voltage and frequency control for the single-phase network. Working characteristics and installation costs are considered.
