What are the applications of regenerative braking inverter devices in urban rail transit?

What are the applications of regenerative braking inverter devices in urban rail transit?

1 OverviewAt present, the urban rail transit DC traction power supply system uses diode rectifiers, and power can only flow in one direction from the AC grid to the DC traction grid. When the vehicle brakes, excess regenerative braking energy increases the DC grid voltage. The traditional solution i

What are the distributed capacitances of transformers? How to reduce distributed capacitance?

What are the distributed capacitances of transformers? How to reduce distributed capacitance?

Due to the large number of winding layers, the transformer will produce distributed capacitance. When operating at high frequency, these distributed capacitances will have a great impact on the working state of the transformer, such as EMC deterioration, transformer heating, etc. So it's important t
