Why DC DC Converters are Mostly Used in Railway Industry?


Australian power products companies have released its next generation of DC DC converters (which is also known as linear converter or switching regulator). This has a wide input range from 43 volts to 154-volt input with power levels up to 240 Watt. It has the efficiency of up to 93 percent. This kind of converters has the target on new rail transportation applications. Modern trains require a wide range of linear converter to power a variety of new applications. 

The railway systems require this as it has the capabilities to control voltages. It can control and monitor the application to keep it safe. The railway applications demand high-performance and reliable power systems for the security and safety of the applications. The new series of these amazing railway DC DC converters contain the regulated and isolated component that can operate a wide range of input voltage. These new converters simplify power system design to support multiple input voltage ranges. As it has high efficiency (up to 93 percent), engineers offer to use this.

A feature of the linear converter:

• It can operate 250 Watt to 500 Watt converters that are required for railway applications.
• It has the input to 45 to 154 volts and this has the cooling sink component.
• It can high resist to pollution and has a wide input voltage range.
• This has high efficiency and it can connect with different input and output.
• It has the feature of input voltage lockout, output overload protection, and output overvoltage protection.

We have heard a lot about the advanced features of AC DC power converters. Now, it’s the time to celebrate the new series of the switching regulator is basically designed for railway applications. In this blog, I am going to discuss its major features. Follow the below section to know this.



• High protection to pollution:

The new series of the converter has the enclosed part with no air ventilation holes. This has no cooling fans. Also, the internal circuit boards are coated. Therefore, it has high resistance capability to protect dust.

• Heatsink feature:

The new model of this converter has the heatsink and natural cooling system. That is why it does not need any additional heatsink and the cool plate is required. This model can operate the current up to 500 Watt and it can control the temperature up to 50 centigrade.

• High efficiency:

This converter has the full load efficiency of 90 percent. Consequently, this regulated railway DC DC converters can lead to low to high power. For that, the applications provide long life and high reliability.

• Wide voltage range:

The new series is designed to operate from 70 volts to 110 volts supply. It can operate from the input voltage of 45 to 154 volts. This wide input range allows many different railway applications. It also allows the applications to provide stable output voltage even with high input power supply. This can occur in engine starting. Therefore, it is required to the engine.

• Output protection:

The new series maintain constant output voltage. When the current limit is exceeded, the converter switches high power supply current mode. This mode can protect short circuit on the output. 

Some converters also use in rail and smaller trains. It has become the key to rail transport. It can be used to provide engine start for trains. In addition, this converter has proven to have the superior technology that is used in trucks and buses that run with diesel engines. 

Bottom Line:

In the electric system, the voltage may drop at any time and you need to take off the energy capacitor, especially for the railway industry. Engineers have modified this converter constantly and enhanced its reliability by reducing its saving costs.

What Makes AC DC Power Converters the Best Choice?

Generally, there are two classifications of current- Alternating current or AC and Direct Current or DC.   There are some electrical appliances, which require Direct current. Therefore, it is important to convert the Alternating current into Direct current. Using this concept, widely used AC DC power converters are manufactured. These converters are also well-known as Switch Mode Power converters.   This type of converter can be used for a number of purposes. Most household appliances (such as refrigerators, washing machines) are powered by this converter. Apart from this, the switch-mode converter can be used for manufacturing industrial machines. Advantages Here, we are going to discuss the key advantages of this converter. Let’s get into the details: ·          The latest collection of switch-mode converter is able to extend its efficiency. It can cut off power consumption. It is also good for operating a large number ...

Rugged DC DC Converter- Making Power More Powerful

With each passing day, emerging technologies and energy solutions are getting more developed and closer to being the mainstay of day-to-day life. Electrical energy, for instance is more practical at present than theoretical it was few decades back. With development activities at its extreme, converter is taking the more advanced form and has accelerated the activities of modern civilization. One such invention in the electrical sector is the rugged DC DC converter which are the electromechanical devices converting a source of DC from one voltage stage to another one. The power varies from a smaller unit as in the case of battery to high voltage power transmission. Before the modernization of power semiconductors and its subsidiaries, the only way to convert the voltage of direct current to higher voltage for low power consuming appliances was to convert it to AC first followed by a step-up transformer and rectifier. This involved a larger set up and was not cost effective. T...

Meet Railway Requirements with DC DC Converters

Isolated DC-DC converters (which are also known as linear converter or switching regulator) are required in a broad range of applications for power supplies. These are basically used in industrial sectors. These converters often are used to provide less noise function, improve safety and isolation. Moreover, these can be used to generate multiple outpour voltage in the rail industry. It has the feature of output voltage regulation and isolation feature that has three categories. One is regulated, the second one id unregulated and the last one is semi-regulated. This blog will discuss these three regulating features of the linear converter. All these are examined in detail. This blog will provide you with a guideline for choosing an appropriate solution for a specific application need.           Regulated voltage converter: The regulated voltage converter is typically used as a transformer to electricity from output to input source of the power st...
