Chiltern Railways order for Static Converters
Turbo Power Systems ("TPS"), the innovative electrical machines
and electronic systems provider, is pleased to announce the award
of a contract from Chiltern Railways for the design and manufacture
of Static Converter units. The units will replace existing Motor
Alternator Sets ("M/A Sets") on Chilterns Railways' fleet of
InterCity Mk3 coaches. The value of the contract is GBP820,000 with
delivery of the first unit due in 2013 and scheduled for completion
in 2014.
The Mk3 currently use M/A Sets to provide on-train electrical
supplies to supplement the 800V DC supply from the rail track. TPS
believe that the Static Converter units selected by Chiltern
Railways, designed and built by TPS, materially lower maintenance
costs as compared to M/A Sets by generating the required electrical
supply by means of power electronics and avoiding moving parts.
TPS has entered into discussions with other owners and operators
of Mk3 coaches in respect of potentially upgrading existing M/A
Sets to Static Converters.
