Designing Power Supply Solutions for Hybrid Locomotives

As achieving a fully electrified rail system can be challenging, especially in train shunting yards and sidetracks, many rail operators are opting for a hybrid approach. This video delves into how RECOM is delivering battery charger solutions to support large cargo rail operators during their transition to hybrid shunting locomotives. For instance, RECOM's PCS division has adapted the RMOC18k, originally designed for on-road vehicle batteries, to meet railway standards. The RMOC18k can produce an output power of 18kW with an output voltage ranging up to 920V DC, all powered by a 3-phase 400V AC input sourced from the industry-standard CEE 32A socket. Furthermore, RECOM offers a range of standard battery chargers with scalable power capacities designed for rolling stock and locomotives. Discover more by watching the video.
