PowerBriX® auxiliary converters are the new base products of the ABB family setting new standards for efficient power supply in rail vehicles.
They are based on silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors and optimized system architecture to minimize weight and volumes in favor of efficiency of the overall system.
The new PowerBriX® auxiliary converter platform for urban mass transit has been designed in three power sizes according to vehicle requirements. These converters are highly standardized but tailorable thanks to a wide set of options (i.e. specific fixing point, AC&DC output power, input stage) in order to reach a system that fully meets the customer’s specific needs, both in new vehicles and retrofit projects.
