IEEE 1653.2-2020

This standard covers the design, manufacturing, and testing unique to the application of uncontrolled semiconductor power rectifiers for direct current (dc)-supplied transportation substation applications up to 1500 V dc nominal output.

This standard defines the terminology, circuit arrangements, service ratings, performance characteristics, and test procedures unique to uncontrolled power rectifiers for transportation substation (traction) application. It also provides recommended design and application guidelines.

Revision Standard - Active. The design, manufacturing, and testing unique to the application of uncontrolled semiconductor power rectifiers for direct current (dc) supplied transportation substation applications up to 1500 V dc nominal output is covered in this standard. The standard is intended to address traction power substation rectifiers that are to be provided as part of a rectifier transformer unit or that are to be provided separately. Application information and extensive definitions of related technical terms are included.
