Železniške naprave - Močnostni pretvorniki na železniških vozilih - 1. del: Karakteristike in preskusne metode (IEC 61287-1:2014)

Standard EN IEC 61287-1 določa terminologijo, pogoje obratovanja, splošne karakteristike in preskusne metode elektronskih močnostnih pretvornikov na železniških vozilih. Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za elektronske močnostne pretvornike na železniških vozilih, ki so namenjeni napajanju – vlečnih tokokrogov; – pomožnih tokokrogov vlečnih vozil, potniških vagonov in vlečenih vozil. Uporaba tega standarda se v čim večjem obsegu nanaša na vsa druga vlečna vozila, tudi na primer na trolejbuse. Ta standard obravnava celotni pretvorniški sestav skupaj z njegovimi montažnimi elementi, ki zajemajo – sestave polprevodniških naprav; – integrirane hladilne sisteme; – integrirane komponente, kot so induktivniki, kondenzatorji, transformatorji, upori, stikala; – polprevodniške pogonske enote (SDU) in povezane senzorje; – vgrajene zaščitne tokokroge. Obravnavane so naslednje vrste virov napajanja: – izmenični kontaktni vodniki, – enosmerni kontaktni vodniki, – pripomočki v vozilu, kot so generatorji, akumulatorji in drugi električni viri napajanja. Ta standard izključuje pretvornike, ki zagotavljajo elektronsko kontrolno napajanje za polprevodniške pogonske enote (SDU) in druge pripomočke, primerne za delovanje pretvornikov, kot so senzorji.
