It requires protection and safety items (main circuit breaker, lightning arrestors, pantograph...).

Also, the braking chopper consists of an IGBT + diode assembly. The braking resistors are installed in a separate box. Therefore there is a total of 6 semiconductors for the inverter and 1 semiconductor for the braking chopper.

Traction converter schematic. 9 / 25 V U N M 3 N M 3 Technical data 750 VDC Traction system cafpower.com The traction converter consists of the following functional assemblies: 3.2.1. Line contactor and precharge circuit: Each traction inverter is equipped with a connection and precharge circuit. This consists of a network contactor, a precharge resistor and a precharge contactor. Its purpose is to limit the charge current of the capacitor of the intermediate circuit and to prevent its voltage from overoscillating. The control unit regulates the load of the capacitor of the intermediate circuit and that of the filter capacitors. To this end the precharge contactor and the precharge resistor are used until the voltage reaches a preset value. Only after this is the network contactor closed and the precharge contactor opened. The contactors permit isolation of the inverter even when it is operating at maximum power (both in traction and in braking). Figure 3 shows the tramway traction equipment input contactors: Figure 3. Traction equipment line contactor and precharge circuit. 3.2.2. Input filter: The traction equipment input filter consists of a series inductance with parallel capacitor, both of which are included in the traction converter. Its function is to minimise dumping to the electrical network of harmonics produced by the traction system and to protect the system itself against network transient conditions. It also limits the input impedance. Based on the data relating to the input filter the maximum impedance is: di dt = Vmáx máx L = 1000 4.28 = 233 A ms The values of the input filter components for the tramway traction equipment are that normally used on tramways: Tramway unit L filter C filter Cut Freq. Z50Hz Tramway 4,28 mH 5 mF 34 Hz 0,708 Ω The input filter contains air core inductances to minimise the weight of the equipment. Inductance cooling is forced, making use of the cooling outlet warm air of the inverter cores. The fans are powered by three phase motors, each with 250W of power. A single stage filter is used to reduce the total volume and weight of the filter inductances and to provide optimum voltage conditions in the intermediate circuit. The coils have been sized to meet the harmonics filtering requirements and to support the permanent maximum rated current. 10 / 25 Technical data 750 VDC Traction system cafpower.com The main characteristics of the filter inductances are as follows: Inductance characteristics Inductance 4.28mH Permanent rated current 200A Maximum current 350A Type of insulation class H Degree of pollution PD4 Cooling type forced air ventilation Dimensions (max.) H = 300mm; L = 380mm; W = 272mm Figure 4 shows the inductances of the tramway traction equipment: Figure 4. Tramway traction equipment inductances. As is the case for the inductance, the filter capacitor is mounted inside the inverter box, as close as possible to the inverter cores and also performs the function of bus capacitor. This capacitor stabilises the voltage and provides active and reactive power for the traction motors. The main characteristics of the filter capacitors are as follows: Capacitor characteristics Capacity 5000μF Rated voltage 1000VDC Efficient rated current 180A Maximum efficient current 460A Internal series resistance 0.24 mΩ Internal inductance 60nH Technology Polypropylene film dry capacitor Dimensions (max.) H = 560mm; L = 240mm; W = 130mm 11 / 25 Technical data 750 VDC Traction system cafpower.com 3.2.3. Current and voltage sensors: The traction converter contains a series of current and voltage sensors by means of which the DC voltages and DC and AC currents are measured at various points of the capacitor. The information of these sensors and their conditioners is sent to the traction control unit to control the various processes (bus capacitor precharge, protections, fault detection, etc.). Figure 5 shows the various sensors of the tramway traction equipment: Figure 5. Tramway tractIon equipment sensors. 3.2.4. Three phase inverter or inverter core: The inverter core transforms the bus voltage in a three phase current with variable frequency and amplitude to supply the traction motors. The losses in the traction motors as well noise generation are minimised by means of optimised modulation patterns. This is a two level inverter equipped with IGBTs with a blocking voltage of 3.3kV. Each branch of each phase is equipped with 2 IGBTs. The main characteristics of the IGBTs are adapted in accordance with the simulations performed: IGBT characteristics Semiconductor topology Collector-transmitter maximum voltage VCES 1700VDC Rated Current (75 ºC) 1200 A Maximum current (tp=1msec) 2400A Insulation voltage 4 KV (50Hz, 60s) Base material AlSiC 12 / 25 cafpower.com Technical data 750 VDC Traction system Each IGBT is controlled by its corresponding drivers which create the interface between the control signals and the power signals required to control the IGBTs via fibre optics. These drivers are fitted with various protections such as: Short circuit: Detection of a short circuit to open the IGBT. Undervoltage: Detection of a drop in the supply voltage for the opening of the IGBT. Overvoltages: The driver prevents the voltage between collector-transmitter exceeding the VCES breakdown voltage. The voltage value is 1700VDC. Also, the inverter core contains a busbar which serves as the connection interface between the bus capacitor and the semiconductors or the Inverter. The Busbar consists of two plates which are separated from each other by means of an insulating material. Also, the permanent discharge resistor is fixed on the same radiator that the semiconductors of each Three phase Semi-inverter are supported on. This resistor short circuits the positive pole with the negative pole of the bus to discharge the accumulated power in the bus capacitors when the inverter is not supplied. The ohmic value is such that the bus discharges in under 5 minutes at a voltage value of less than 50V from the maximum bus voltage. 3.2.5. Braking chopper: The braking chopper enables and controls the dissipation of kinetic power of the unit in the braking phase when the line is not receptive. It is also activated in the case of overvoltage in the intermediate circuit. Each traction box includes two crowbar circuits, one per Three phase Inverter. Each Crowbar circuit consists of an IGBT, a diode and an external dissipation resistor. Both circuits are controlled independently according to the braking requirements and/or over voltages in the corresponding bus. Each braking chopper branch connects to a Braking Resistor where the kinetic power of the train and the over voltages generated are absorbed. 3.2.6. Cooling system: This system evacuates the heat produced by the losses of the semiconductors of the three phase inverter and the braking chopper. This system is explained in section 3.5. 3.2.7. Electrical gear: This consists of all the contactors required for the operation and control of auxiliary items. 3.2.8. Control unit: This controls all items making up the system. This system is explained in section 4. 13 / 25 Technical data 750 VDC Traction system cafpower.com 3.3. Brake resistors The function of the brake resistors is to convert the kinetic energy generated by the traction motor into heat energy in the event that the catenary is not receptive and this energy cannot be fed back into the grid. They are also activated in the case of overvoltage in the intermediate circuit of the traction converter.

Cooling The inverter cooling system evacuates the heat produced by the losses of the semiconductors of the three phase inverter, of the braking chopper and of the input filter inductances located in the same box. Converter cooling is executed by means of forced ventilation with fans. These absorb air from the outside and circulate it with the support of a dissipator where the power semiconductors are located. The IGBTs of the inverter and of the braking chopper are located on the base plate, which distributes the dissipated power as uniformly as possible and cooling must be by means of the absorbed air flow. Also, this flow of air is used to cool the filter inductance. The coolant system design is optimised to efficiently absorb the semiconductors losses. In this way the temperature of the IGBTs is maintained below a design threshold defined in accordance with the rupture temperature of the semiconductors.

Control electronics 4.1. Control electronics architecture Each traction inverter is fitted with independent traction control electronics. This traction control electronics is based on two modules: The TCU or “Traction Control Unit” and the ICU or “Inverter Control Unit” which are fitted inside the traction converter box.

The TCU sends the ICU traction commands via CAN bus. It shall also calculate the friction brake required in the discs and perform coordination between the electric brake and the hydraulic brake (blending) in the motor bogies of the unit. The ICU applies the low level traction control strategies generating the settings for the power semiconductors. It shall also control wheel slide protection in the motor bogies. Both modules must interact with other train items using series communication lines and discreet inputs/outputs. Figure 7 schematically represents the approximate interface of the control electronics.
