Review on key generic technologies for railway converters
With continuous advancements in technology,customer requirements for converters,particularly quality indicators,are steadily increasing,driving the evolution of converters towards lighter weight,lower noise,higher reliability,and improved aesthetics.This paper delves into the key generic technologies in the design of converters for rail traffic,covering critical areas such as the applica-tion of power devices,lightweight design,vibration and noise reduction,electromagnetic compatibility,thermal management,and indus-trial design.It provides an overview of the current development status of these technologies both domestically and internationally,sum-marizes the challenges and difficulties encountered in their further development,and discusses in detail the core role these technologies play in enhancing product market competitiveness based on practical application examples.The findings provide comprehensive refer-ences and technical guidance for designing converters that are lighter,quieter,more reliable,and more aesthetically pleasing.
