About this document

Reversible Thyristor Rectifiers in Traction by Ooi Ban Juan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Silicon diode rectifiers (SDRs) are outdated technology used in U.S. traction systems, lacking active voltage control and power recuperation, while thyristor-controlled rectifiers (TCRs) offer these features and have been implemented in various U.S. cities since 1996. TCRs provide significant voltage gains over SDRs, allowing for fewer substations and reduced costs, despite their higher initial expense. The document discusses the operational characteristics, design requirements, and energy efficiency of bot
