Technical FAQs 4

When did electric trains start using VVVF inverters?

IT is about 30 years since electric trains using VVVF (variable voltage variable frequency) inverter control first appeared in Japan. Since then, VVVF inverters for rolling stock (referred to below as “inverters”) have undergone a steady stream of improvements.

How many motors does a VVVF traction inverter control?

As shown in Fig. 3, as the main circuit system, one variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) traction inverter system controls four main motors. Figure 4 shows the appearance of a VVVF traction inverter system.

What are the advantages of a VVVF Inverter?

These features help to reduce the amount of maintenance. Power savings: These inverters make it possible to use both generative (resistor consumption) and regenerative (power restoration to the overhead power lines) methods of train control (braking). * VVVF stands for variable voltage variable frequency.

What is VVVF inverter for Electric Railway?

Newly developed VVVF inverter for electric railway is presented. The inverter utilizes SiC hybrid modules which contributes significant loss reduction. With oth
