Abstract
The paper discusses specifications for the Thyristor Controlled Rectifiers (TCR) in traction applications. Covered are TCR voltage selection, output filter requirements, harmonics, reactive power, power circuit configuration, power recuperation and cooling. Compares TCRs and diode rectifier usage in traction. It summarizes TCR requirements specific for traction.
