GB/T 43769-2024 "Traction power supply system for medium and low speed maglev transportation" is an important standard formulated to meet the needs of the development of inter-city medium and low speed maglev transportation and to regulate the composition, technical requirements and test methods of its traction power supply system. The release of this standard marks a key step in the standardization construction of my country's maglev transportation field, filling the gap in the domestic medium and low speed maglev transportation electrical equipment standards.
| System composition | Technical requirements | Key parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Traction substation | - The number, capacity and layout are determined according to the line conditions; - The AC medium voltage bus adopts a single bus or segmented wiring, and the DC bus adopts a single bus. | Nominal voltage: 750V, 1500V |
| Traction network | - Including contact rail system, feeder cable and return cable; - The dynamic contact force calculation is required for the current matching between the contact rail and the receiving shoe. | Dynamic contact force range: maximum 500N, minimum V0 |
| Contact rail system | - Steel-aluminum composite rails are used, and the positive and negative poles are arranged separately; - Expansion joints and ordinary joints must ensure electrical continuity. | Current carrying capacity: not less than the current carrying capacity of the steel-aluminum composite rail body |
Medium voltage AC switchgear and DC switchgear must comply with the provisions of GB/T 3906 and GB/T 10411, and rectifier transformers and rectifiers must comply with the technical standards of CJ/T 370 and GB/T 18494.1. The strength safety factor of the supporting device must meet the requirements in the table, and the tensile safety factor of the composite insulator must be ≥5.0.
In actual applications, it is recommended to strictly follow the standards for equipment selection and system design. For example, when selecting a rectifier unit, the equivalent 24-pulse rectifier method should be used first, and its load characteristics should be ensured to meet the requirements of Class VI. At the same time, high-efficiency and energy-saving equipment should be used for the ground utilization system of regenerative braking energy to reduce energy waste.
During the test phase, it is necessary to focus on cross-zone power supply testing and DC short-circuit testing of the traction network to ensure the stability and safety of the system. Through the monitoring and analysis of actual operation data, the performance parameters of the traction power supply system are continuously optimized.
