This part of IEC 62590 specifies characteristics, requirements and test methods for controlled converters for DC electric traction systems.
AC/DC converters
- Rectifiers
- Inverters
- Combinations
DC converters
Purpose of the converters can be a power connection to other power networks or energy storages.
Common characteristic of this equipment is the possibility to influence the power flow in the DC electric traction system. The converters can be
- Line commutated
- Self-commutated
This document applies to fixed installations of following electric traction systems:
- railway networks,
- metropolitan transport networks including metros, tramways, trolleybuses and fully automated transport systems, electric trucks.
This Standard does not apply to
- magnetic levitated transport systems.
