BORDLINE Compact Converters are main propulsion converters with integrated auxiliary supply. All power electronics found on a vehicle are integrated in one product. This yields a very compact design with one interface to the vehicle.
As world market leader for industrial drives, ABB is very much concerned about
standardization. The standard ABB control platform AC 800PEC is used for the
Compact Converters. The power part is built with standard Power Electronic
Building Blocks (PEBB), based on well-proven IGBT technology.
BORDLINE Compact Converters are available for:
- AC grid voltage applications (15 kV / 16.7 Hz or 25 kV / 50 Hz)
- DC grid voltage applications (600/750VDC, 1.5 kVDC, 3kVDC)
- Diesel Generator applications
- Multi-System applications
BORDLINE Compact Converters provide the following functions:
- Input converter (AC to DC conversion - single or three phase)
- Traction converter (DC to AC conversion)
- Braking chopper
- Auxiliary converter
- Battery charger
- Multi Vehicle Bus (MVB) interface
