DC Electrification System
Toshiba's DC electrical equipment is intended to supply highly reliable and stable DC power to the DC electric rolling stock. The main equipment consists of rectifier transformers, silicon rectifiers, DC switchgear, etc. Toshiba also manufactures package-type substation, integrating all the functions required for small and medium-sized DC substations.
Benefits & Value
- Environmental sustainability is realized through the application of eco-friendly technology such as the use of heat pipes for rectifiers and liquid silicone or rapeseed oil instead of mineral oil as insulation medium for rectifier transformers.
- Space saving and ease of maintenance are realized through the application of compact and vacuum DC high-speed circuit breakers for DC Switchgears.
- Shortened period of construction and space saving are both realized by adopting the package-type substation.
