Railway applications - Power convertors installed on board rolling stock -- Part 1: Characteristics and test methods

This International Standard is applicable to power electronic convertors 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 convertor assembly together with its mounting arrange-ments containing - semiconductor device assemblies; - integrated cooling systems; - components of the intermediate d.c. link, including any necessary filters associated with the d.c. link; - semiconductor drive units (SDU) and related sensors; - incorporated protection circuits. The following types of power sources are taken into consideration: - a.c. contact lines, - d.c. contact lines, - on-board supplies such as generators, batteries and other electric power sources. This standard excludes convertors which provide the electronic control supply for SDU and other supplies relevant to the convertor operation such as sensors.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1995. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following technical changes from 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 62236 and
IEC 62278 series and general railway technical standards as IEC 60850 and relevant parts of
IEC 60077, IEC 60349 and IEC 61377 series. This revision has been drafted with
considerations of harmonization with EN 50207 (1998).

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The IEC 61287 series contains the following parts under the general title Railway applications –

Part 2: Additional technical information
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the
maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

1 Scope
This International Standard is applicable to power electronic convertors 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 convertor assembly together with its mounting arrange-
ments containing
– semiconductor device assemblies;
– integrated cooling systems;
– components of the intermediate d.c. link, including any necessary filters associated with the
d.c. link;
– semiconductor drive units (SDU) and related sensors;
– incorporated protection circuits.
The following types of power sources are taken into consideration:
– a.c. contact lines,
– d.c. contact lines,
– on-board supplies such as generators, batteries and other electric power sources.
This standard excludes convertors which provide the electronic control supply for SDU and
other supplies relevant to the convertor operation such as sensors.
NOTE Electronic control equipment of convertors and those sensors not related to semiconductor drive units and
the printed circuit board assemblies of drive units for power semiconductors (SDU) are covered by IEC 60571.
This standard defines terminology, service conditions, general characteristics and test methods
of electronic power convertors onboard of rolling stock.
