3 PHASE TECHNOLOGY
Why a converter ?
Power conversion from line to motor
e.g. AC 25kV / 50Hz
AC 15kV / 16.7Hz
U,f = fix
e.g. DC 3kV
DC 1.5kV
DC 600-1200V
U = fix
U,f = variable

DC MOTORS VS 3 AC MOTOR
High starting torque is a traction
requirement
DC motor is better in this
parameter
0.3
DC:
0.18
Maintenance requirements
More wear & tear in DC Motor
Early overhaul requirements
High voltage-Low current design
High RPM
DC MOTORS VS 3 AC MOTOR
Losses:
DC Motor has more Copper losses
as Rotor,
stator both are wound
Manufacturing cost
Maintenance requirements
More wear & tear in DC Motor
Early overhaul requirements
Life Cycle cost
Regeneration feasibility
Regenarative Braking
3 phase EMUs
Energy regenarated is 40% of energy
consumed.
Approx. saving of 78 lakhs per rake per year
3 phase Locomotives
Energy regenarated is 12% of energy
consumed.
Approx. saving of 23 lakhs per loco per year

This results into reduction in greenhouse gases to the tune of 350T
per annum per24 coach train.
Electricity saving about 0.7 million units per annum per 24
coach train which amounts to Rs 35 lakhs per train per annum.
