EMB-2PH static switching modules series are the building blocks for the construction of static capacitor banks for Power Factor Correction. These capacitor banks use thyristors instead of the classic contactors for the connection of each capacitor stage and they are ideal in installations with fast and large load fluctuations (load changes from tents of …
The current through the capacitor can be varied by controlling the firing angles of back to back thyristor connected in series with the capacitor.

Thyristor-switched capacitors (TSCs) are a type of SVC where the thyristor switches are used to connect and disconnect capacitors to supply the required reactive power to a system. TSCs are usually shunt-connected devices and their effective reactance is varied in a step by step manner by adjusting the conduction of the thyristors.
The function of an AC traction system is to deliver power to the locomotives as efficiently and economically as possible. Two main problems generally affect a normal railway system: the voltage drop and the high levels of harmonic distortion. The maintenance of a minimum voltage level, so that the trains can operate normally, involves a limit in the maximum …
