Converters for Trains
Various versions of converters for trains are available, either for roof mounting or for mounting in the engine room which can be air or liquid cooled. The modular design enables easy and low-cost maintenance. These solutions also enable compact and light-weighted vehicle designs.
Converters for Trains
Enabling compact and light-weighted vehicle designs
KONČAR has extensive experience in the development of equipment for locomotives, passenger coaches and tram cars, as well as the application of modern solutions and technologies were the best basis for developing this generation of converters.
Different versions of converters are possible, either for roofing mounting or mounting in the engine room which could be air or liquid cooled. The modular design enables easy and low-cost maintenance, their solutions also enable compact and light-weighted vehicle designs.
KONČAR provide equipment for electric multiple units as well as diesel electric multiple units, the range features: KONTRAC GP550DE, KONTRAC GP550AC and KONTRAC PN110AC.
Propulsion and Auxiliary Converter for Diesel-electric Rail Vehicles – KONTRAC GP550DE
The KONTRAC GP550DE converts the variable voltage from diesel generator into drive power for the traction motors, three-phase auxiliary power supply for the train onboard consumers and into DC auxiliary power supply for charging train batteries. This converter is a robust and solid unit incorporating modern IGBT technology.

Propulsion Converter for Electric Multiple Unit – KONTRAC GP550AC
The KONTRAC GP550AC converts the power from the transformer outputs of AC network in to propulsion power for the traction motors. It has sinusoidal input current in phase with voltage and with low harmonic content. During breaking, the converter feeds back energy to the network. All control, protective, communication and monitoring functions are implemented in one control electronics inside the converter.
