SiC Power Electronics

Silicon-carbide traction converters, inverters and high-efficiency power modules.

RAILIGO scope

Silicon-carbide traction converters, inverters and high-efficiency power modules.

Capability model

RAILIGO approaches SiC Power Electronics as an integrated rail capability combining engineering, system interfaces, safety, digital technology, testing, maintainability and lifecycle performance. The model can be adapted for new-build projects, fleet expansion, modernization, local manufacturing or long-term O&M.

Typical project requirements

  • Requirements definition and technical specifications
  • System architecture and interface control
  • Safety, reliability, RAMS and cybersecurity planning
  • Supplier and technology integration
  • Testing, commissioning, acceptance and lifecycle support
