GENERAL DESIGN OF THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OF THE HIGH SPEED TRAINSETS
CONCEPTION GENERALE DE L'EQUIPEMENT ELECTRIQUE DES RAMES TGV
These high speed trainsets are of the dual current type (25 kV 50 Hz and 1,500 V direct current) with two power cars and eight trailer cars mounted on thirteen bogies, six of which are motor bogies. Each motor bogie is driven by two series-connected d.c. motors fixed directly to the body. In the electrical equipment there are series of thyristors, chopper units, gear for making driving simple, fixed speed regulation and antislip devices. The author describes the traction motors which give a total power of 6,200 kW (515 kW per motor) at a speed 243 km/h, as well as a 1,500 kg trainset (less than 3 kg/kW). He then gives some information about the two static supply converters for the auxiliary equipment, producing 450 kVA and each feeding the three-phase current system (380 V/50 Hz).
