Part 1: Characteristics and test methods

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61287-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 9: Electrical
equipment and systems for railways.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2005. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following main technical changes with regard to the previous edition: it
includes updates as necessary in order to meet the current technical state of the art and to
improve clarity. It also takes into account generic railway standards as relevant parts of
IEC 62497 and IEC 62498. Especially the clauses considering temperature rise test and
auxiliary converter characteristics have been revised.

Part 1: Characteristics and test methods



1 Scope
This part of IEC 61287 defines terminology, service conditions, general characteristics and test
methods of electronic power converters onboard of rolling stock.
This International Standard is applicable to power electronic converters mounted on board
railway rolling-stock and intended for supplying
– traction circuits;
– auxiliary circuits of power vehicles, coaches and trailers.
The application of this standard extends as far as possible to all other traction vehicles,
including trolley-buses, for example.
This standard covers the complete converter assembly together with its mounting arrange-
ments containing
– semiconductor device assemblies;
– integrated cooling systems;
– integrated components like inductors, capacitors, transformers, resistors, contactors,
switches;
– semiconductor drive units (SDU) and related sensors;
– incorporated protection circuits.
The following types of power sources are taken into consideration:
– AC contact lines,
– DC contact lines,
– on-board supplies such as generators, batteries and other electric power sources.
This standard excludes converters which provide the electronic control supply for
semiconductor drive units (SDU) and other supplies relevant to the converter operation such as
sensors.
NOTE 1 Electronic control equipment of converters and those sensors not related to semiconductor drive units
and the printed circuit board assemblies of semiconductor drive units (SDU) are covered by IEC 60571.
NOTE 2 Combined tests with the whole traction system or auxiliary supply system are not within the scope of
this standard. E.g. rules for combined tests of a motor fed by a converter are given in the IEC 61377 series.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments)
