MCM (Motor Converter Module)

The main function of the Motor converter module (MCM) is to convert input DC voltage to AC voltage. The MCM is based on insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and employs three identical phases. Each phase is connected to the DC link in parallel. The IGBTs located in each phase convert the stabilized DC link voltage into a three-phase power with variable voltage and variable frequency, by switching on and off. The produced three-phase power feeds the two traction motors in parallel.
