POWER ELECTRONICS IN RAIL-BORNE VEHICLES

Modern power electronics have won for themselves a permanent place in the sphere of electric traction. Semiconductor converter technology with its ever increasing range of possible applications have made a decisive contribution to a noticeable improvement in the performance, running characteristics and economics of electric motive power units. The progressive development of power electronics systems and components will continue in the future to set new standards in electric traction operation.
