Power solutions for rail transit

As a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly large-capacity transportation, urban and inter-city rail transit get a rapid development this year, which leads to a high-speed growth of urban rail high-speed rail equipment industry. However, there are very strict regulations for electrical and electronic equipment used on railway applications. EN50155 Railway applications-Electronic equipment used on rolling stock is the most commonly used in Europe and RIA12 in UK which more weights surge ability.

EN50155 standards

EN50155 standards is the primary reference for MORNSUN’s railway power converters. They fulfill specific specifications to reach this standard:

Applications of the MORNSUN converters:

1. Subway Sliding Plug Door– DCU (Door Control Unit)

A sliding plug door is a door designed to seal itself with steps of plug and pull by taking advantage of pressure difference on its two sides and is typically used on subway, train and so on. First, DCU send information of door statue, safety monitoring, emergency switch and others to the cab. Then, the cab gives orders to all DCU to control the opening and closing of the sliding plug door.

To ensure the electrical safety and common-mode interference protection capability, CPU system, the internal door control unit, should isolate from the motor, signal acquisition and other equipment. Therefore, it’s recommended to select two power converters

In above diagram, the power supply of vehicle electronic equipment is 110VDC. MORNSUN 10W railway converter URB1D05LMD-10WR3 offers 5VDC powering CPU and URB1D15LMD-10WR3 does 15VDC powering motor driver chip. Both actual output power are about 6-8W.

URB1DxxLMD-10WR3 series are designed with the European standard EN50155 and meet the special requirement for isolation. They come in enclosed metal package with excellent thermal performance and good radiation protection. The series offer 2250VDC isolation (reinforced insulation) and 40-160VDC ultra-wide input voltage, suitable for 72V/96V/110V system.

2. Business-class Seat on High-speed Train

Business-class seat electric control system mainly consist of switching button, position sensor, electronic controller ECU and drive motor.The switching button and position sensor includes the electric switch (base, backrest, waist) and position sensor of them. And the Drive motor is used to flexibly adjust various seat statues (cradle seats, angled lie flat seats and fully flat seats) and manually reset in case of power turns off.

De URF1D24QB-100W spoorwegconverter biedt 24 VDC uitgangsspanning voor een verticale motor, tilt motor en glijmotor in één converter.

In above diagram, the power supply of railway vehicle electronic equipment is 110VDC, too. MORNSUN URF1D24QB-100W targeting railway offers 24VDC to power vertical motor, tilt motor and sliding motor on one hand. On the other hand, it connect with K7805-500R3 to convert voltage into 5VDC powering the electronic controller and position sensor.
