Power Electronic Building Blocks
KONČAR’s traction converters include propulsion converters and auxiliary converters for installation on locomotives, light-weight vehicles such as trams, electric and diesel-electric multiple units and passenger coaches.
Power Electronic Building Blocks
Featuring the latest IGBT technology
KONČAR is a leading manufacturer of electric equipment and electro-energetic plant. They specialise in the development and engineering of railway equipment, they produce KONTRAC traction converters which are developed, designed and built for very demanding on-board railway applications.
KONTRAC traction converters include propulsion converters (KONTRAC GP series) and auxiliary converters (KONTRAC PN series) for installation on locomotives, light-weight vehicles such as trams, electric and diesel-electric multiple units and passenger’s coaches. Alongside complete traction converters they are also able to offer subsystems for traction converters, including Power Electronic Building Blocks.
Power Electronic Building Blocks – KONTRAC PS800
The KONTRAC PS800 is a liquid cooled power electronic building block designed for propulsion converters in traction applications. It can be used in either a one or two phase leg configuration and can be used as part of multiple applications such as line converter, motor inverter, step up/down choppers and brake-chopper.
The building block concept leads to reduction of size, weight and costs, it enables compact and light-weight traction converter design.
