Powering the Future of Rail Transportation with Exxelia Alcon Components

Exxelia Alcon, a renowned specialist in electronic components, plays a pivotal role in equipping trains, including high-speed trains (TGVs), with advanced power management and traction systems. Our extensive range of products, including low self-inductance capacitors, custom power polypropylene (PP) film capacitors, and screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitors, ensures optimal performance and reliability for rail transportation applications.

DC-Link capacitors

In the realm of rail transportation, where reliability and efficiency are paramount, DC-Link capacitors are indispensable. These capacitors are designed to minimize inductance, reducing the potential for unwanted interference and ensuring stable performance even under high-frequency conditions. Our capacitors are integral to power management systems, such as the partograph and inter-car connections, where consistent and efficient power distribution is critical.

Custom Power PP Film Capacitors

Exxelia Alcon's custom power PP film capacitors are engineered to meet the specific demands of rail systems. These capacitors are known for their high energy density, low dissipation factor, and excellent stability over a wide temperature range. Their robust design makes them ideal for use in power management units, including converters and voltage stabilizers (CVS), where they contribute to the reliable operation of on-board electrical systems.

Screw Terminal Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitors are another cornerstone of our product lineup, specifically tailored for traction systems in rail applications. These capacitors offer high capacitance values and are capable of withstanding the rigorous demands of traction motors and drives. Their screw terminal design ensures secure connections and easy installation, making them a preferred choice for high-power applications.

Key Applications in Rail Transportation

Power Management Systems:

• Partograph Systems: These systems monitor and manage power distribution across the train, ensuring that each carriage receives the appropriate power level. Low self-inductance capacitors play a crucial role in maintaining the stability and efficiency of these systems.
• Inter-Car Power Connections: Reliable power connections between carriages are essential for the seamless operation of high-speed trains. Exxelia Alcon's capacitors ensure minimal power loss and interference in these connections.

• Converter and Voltage Stabilizers (CVS): Custom power PP film capacitors are integral to the operation of CVS units, providing the necessary energy storage and stability.

   

Traction Systems:

• Traction Motors and Drives: The performance of traction systems directly impacts the efficiency and reliability of rail transportation. Screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitors support these systems by delivering high power and ensuring consistent performance under demanding conditions.
