New Configuration of Traction Converter With Medium-Frequency Transformer Using Matrix Converters

Original language description

This paper presents a new configuration of a main traction converter with a medium-frequency transformer (MFT) using matrix converters intended for locomotives and particularly for suburban units supplied by a 25-kV/50-Hz and/or 15-kV/16.7-Hz ac electrification system. Single-phase matrix converters are employed in the primary medium-voltage converter which is directly connected to the ac trolley line. The output of the primary ac/ac converter supplies the primary side of the MFT. The proposed MFT-basedtopology of the traction converter replaces the bulky main line transformer found on board railway vehicles. Particularly in countries with a catenary of 15 kV/16.7 Hz, very low catenary frequency results in huge and heavy traction transformers. The developed topology is a power electronics solution that considerably reduces weight and losses in a traction propulsion system.
