POWERBOX Mastering Power Transportation Railway-9

Re-design of propulsion system The challenge: It started with an emergency call from one of our customers. At the first tests of a complete new vehicle the propulsion system stopped randomly, and a Powerbox DC/DC converter was initially suspected to be the cause. The solution: A Powerbox investigative team was on site the following day, carrying out practical tests and measurements as well as theoretical analysis. The cause was found to be in a subsystem powered from the converter. In certain operational modes this subsystem caused severe overload on the converter, way outside of the design parameters....
