Abstract
In order to reduce the occupancy space and equipment cost of the on-board converter, a combined traction-auxiliary converter for subway vehicles is proposed in this paper. The power loss of the main traction converter module (MCM) and the auxiliary converter module (ACM) was calculated according to the speed and power variation of the vehicle running between five consecutive stations, and the flow rate of cooling air was calculated through the heat balance theory. The air volume of MCM and ACM and the plate temperature of the radiator are analysed by step method. Then, according to the instantaneous maximum temperature of the radiator obtained by simulation and the thermal parameters of the IGBT module, the junction temperature of the IGBT and diode chips is calculated by means of the junction temperature equivalent circuit. The results show that the plate temperature of the heat sink and junction temperature meet the design requirements. The design and thermal simulation method in this paper provide theoretical reference for the design of railway vehicle converters.
