Benef it s of convert er based railway power supply syst em

• Longer feeding distance reachable

• Reduced act ive power consumpt ion

• Improved fault behavior

• Reduced catenary short circuit current

• Excellent fault ride t hrough behavior (both sides)

• Cont inuous stable operat ion during grid single phase fault

• Catenary volt age support during 3ph grid failure

• Improved power capabilit ies wit h act ive catenary volt age cont rol

• Advanced test funct ionalit y for rolling stocks and catenary lines

• No harmonics ef fect f rom OHL toward 50 Hz grid

• Improved system ef f iciency achievable
