Exxelia Alcon, a distinguished leader in the electronic components industry, is at the forefront of this evolution, providing essential components that enhance the performance and reliability of high-speed trains (TGVs) and other rail systems.

The company offers a comprehensive range of film capacitors designed to meet the stringent demands of rail transport and signaling equipment. Film capacitors are engineered to deliver superior performance and reliability, ensuring the efficient operation of various rail applications.

Power Capacitors

DC-Link Capacitors

In the high-stakes world of rail transportation, reliability and efficiency are paramount. DC-Link capacitors from Exxelia Alcon are crafted to minimize inductance, thereby reducing the risk of unwanted interference and ensuring stable performance even under high-frequency conditions.

These capacitors are critical components in power management systems, such as the partograph and inter-car connections, where consistent and efficient power distribution is essential.

Custom Power PP Film Capacitors

Exxelia Alcon’s custom power polypropylene (PP) film capacitors are tailored to meet the specific demands of rail systems. Known for their high energy density, low dissipation factor, and exceptional stability across a wide temperature range, these capacitors are vital for power management units, including converters and voltage stabilizers (CVS).

Their robust design ensures the reliable operation of on-board electrical systems, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety of rail transportation.

Screw Terminal Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Our screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a cornerstone of our product lineup, specifically designed for traction systems in rail applications. These capacitors provide high capacitance values and can withstand the rigorous demands of traction motors and drives.

The screw terminal design ensures secure connections and easy installation, making them a preferred choice for high-power applications.

Key Applications in Rail Transportation

Power Management Systems

  • Partograph Systems: These systems are crucial for monitoring and managing power distribution across the train, ensuring each carriage receives the appropriate power level. Low self-inductance capacitors play a vital role in maintaining the stability and efficiency of these systems.
  • Inter-Car Power Connections: Reliable power connections between carriages are essential for the seamless operation of high-speed trains. Exxelia Alcon’s capacitors ensure minimal power loss and interference in these connections.
  • Converter and Voltage Stabilizers (CVS): Custom power PP film capacitors are integral to the operation of CVS units, providing necessary energy storage and stability.

Traction Systems

  • Traction Motors and Drives: The performance of traction systems directly impacts the efficiency and reliability of rail transportation. Screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitors support these systems by delivering high power and ensuring consistent performance under demanding conditions.

With Exxelia Alcon’s advanced components, rail systems worldwide can achieve unparalleled reliability and efficiency, driving the future of rail transportation forward.
