DC/DC Converter is designed for railway applications.

Press Release Summary:



Suited for mass transit vehicles and mining locomotives, HVI 300 Series 300 W converter accepts 750 Vdc input voltage (525 V-975 Vdc range), and delivers 12, 24, 36 V, or 48 Vdc. Optional redundancy diode allows for multiple units to be connected in parallel to achieve higher output power or N+1 redundancy, while ruggedizing and conformal coating provides immunity to shock, vibration, humidity, and moisture. Unit is fan cooled and rated for -25 to 55°C for full specification.

750Vdc Input, 300W DC/DC Converter for Railway Applications



June 9, 2008

Mass transit vehicles: trams, metros and light rail. Mining locomotives.

Absopulse Electronics has recently released the HVI 300 series, a 300W addition to its line of high input voltage DC/DC converters. The unit accepts 750Vdc input voltage (525V - 975Vdc range), which is the traction voltage typically required for mass transit vehicles such as trams, metros and light rail, and for mining locomotives. The standard series delivers 12V, 24V, 36V or 48Vdc, with other output voltages available on request. An optional built-in redundancy diode would allow for a number of units to be connected in parallel to achieve higher output power or N+1 redundancy. The HVI 300 meets the requirements of EN50155 for electronic equipment used on rolling stock and is filtered to meet EN 50121-3-2 EMI/EMC.

Heavy ruggedizing and conformal coating provide immunity to shock, vibration, humidity and moisture. The HVI 300 is designed to meet IEC 61373 Categories 1 A & B shock and vibration standards. It is fan cooled and rated for -25°C to 55°C for full specification, with wider temperature ranges also available.

The unit features high efficiency, low output noise and full protection on the input and output. To ensure high reliability and long operating life, all critical components on the primary side are designed and tested for corona inception levels significantly higher than the operating voltages.
