IEC EN 61377-3 Test for Railway Vehicles Indirect Converter Powered Alternating Current Motors

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 61377-3 testing. This standard covers the performance characteristics of electric drives consisting of converter, alternating current motors and related control system, and methods for verifying these performance characteristics by tests.

Combined testing of alternating current (AC) motors powered by an indirect converter and their control system is a procedure that involves testing the motor and control system together to ensure that they are functioning properly as a complete system.

An indirect converter is a device that converts the direct current (DC) produced by a rectifier into a high frequency AC waveform. This AC waveform is then used to power the AC motor. The control system regulates the operation of the motor by adjusting the frequency and amplitude of the AC waveform produced by the indirect converter.

Test procedures may vary depending on the requirements of applicable standards or regulations, as well as the particular engine and control system being tested.

By verifying the performance characteristics of the engine and control system together, any problems or deficiencies can be identified and corrected before the system is put into service or during maintenance and troubleshooting activities.
