Abstract

Context: DC railway vehicles are subjected to surge transients specific to the traction system environment. Transient Event Specifications: • Standards. • Transit authorities may specify their own requirements. • Each project requires custom design. Vehicle Manufacturers Main Task: • Demonstrate during the qualification testing phase the performance of both the equipment and the overall system under all specified transients. Design Challenge: • Equipment and system testing is not available during design. The approach used here: • Detailed analysis are performed to ensure that the requirements are met before testing.
