4 od - ) System Technology ~ for all nopicerene * ABB HENSCHELFrom its initiation, objective of the system development was the use of three-phase technic in traction vehicles with various types of pri- mary power supply. For the relevant realization, the base system with direct current (DC) inkcircuit offers the best prerequisites. Already with the first locomotive, in the beginning ofthe seventies,allthe prime power supply systems wore tested in operation. The base system wasalreadytesied in 1970, in the first Diese!-electric locomotive DE 2500. Power (1840 kW) 2500 HP Axle arrangement Co'Go' Mass eat (t=1,000 kgs} Maximum speed 140 km/h With amodified DE2500the system was tested for the catenary voltage 1500 V DG. Power 1400 kW. Axle arrangement Stat Mass eat Maximum speed 140 km/n Next step: Testing on AC with the objective to develop primary input which would permit operation with cos » ~ 1, ~ 1, The control car contained the transformator and the four-quadrant controller. The Diesel engine had been replaced by ballast Power 1550 kW ‘Axle arrangement Co'Co’ Mass aot The DE 2500 also supplied the basic technology for the new high speed system ICE of the DB, The new drive technic was tested on a locomotive DE 2500 and on the rol- ling test stand “driven” up to 350 km/h.For the three-phase drive, besides the universal riding technic, the component technic is the essential prerequisite for a_ standardized system technology. The advanced GTO-technology combined with the newest computer control permits a minimum of expense. The base sysiem of the three-phase technic consists of the following compo- nents: © Inverter, Three-phase traction motors, e Temperature/rom measurement, protection apparatus, © GTO-contro! set, © RPM-evaluation, Traction motor controller. Tne GTO-module is basically suite~ ble forall applications. Itpermits the use on networks of alternating current (AC), of DG, of Diesel gene- rators and in battery operation. A combination ofthe cifferent types of energy supplies is also possible. The voltage increase at the GTO- elementsalsa enables a direct ope- ration on 3KVnetworks. In transitio- nal cases, special circuits are required,
