Railway applications - Fixed installations - Harmonisation of the rated values for converter groups and tests on converter groups

This European Standard provides requirements for some type tests which are significant only when made on the entire group.
It provides also a basic relationship between compatible ratings of traction transformer and converter(s), in order to provide minimum requirements for the choice of their ratings.
Moreover it gives the minimum values to be considered in order to choose switching devices with characteristics suitable for the converter group(s) involved.
Annexes provide useful information as a guide for the group designer.
Table 1 indicates the components of a converter group and the relevant applicable standards.

Introduction
Converters, traction transformers and switchgear are ordered in most cases as individual items
and are tested in manufacturer’s premises as such.
It is evident that tuning is necessary to choose compatible ratings and that certain performances
cannot be verified (through additional or investigation type tests) unless at least the traction
transformer and the converter are coupled together.
That is the reason for this document.

max1 d00 d0
provisions in the rectifier against the voltage rise at small currents are recommended.
The maximum admissible distortion in the supply voltage shall be as indicated in 2.3.2.1.3 of
EN 50328.
In case of paralleled groups feeding the same busbars, voltage and impedance characteristics
shall be identical, within EN 60076 tolerances, on any like tap position.
For converter groups, the r.m.s. value of the voltage shall be based on the rectified mean value
of the d.c. system voltage (see Figure 1).
When the secondary windings of a supply-side traction transformer are more than one, even if
the secondaries are intended to feed a single conversion bridge, the rated secondary voltage of
each winding is differing from that of other secondary winding by small quantities. The
tolerances in any case shall be observed.
The tap-changer of the traction transformers shall be normally considered effective only for
compensating long-period variations on the supply-side voltage.

5.2 Current demand
The converter group is subject to a load with important variations in amplitude and duration.
Therefore, the expected load diagram shall be determined by the purchaser before issuing a
tender invitation for the converter group. Basing on this load diagram a duty class or load cycle
shall be determined.
In traction converter transformers with connection 9 of the converter, the rated power of the
converter side windings is increased, takin
