13. Circuit diagram
 a) Four-quadrant rectification circuit
The four-quadrant rectifier has AC-to-DC variation under
traction working condition to provide electric energy for
intermediate DC circuit, while under regenerative
working condition, it has DC-to-AC variation through the
intermediate DC circuit to feedback electric energy to
power grid.

14. Circuit diagram
 a) Four-quadrant rectification circuit
 Each main converter has two four-quadrant rectifiers.
Each four-quadrant rectifier is connected with one
traction winding via a pre-charge resistance and two AC
contactors. Two four-quadrant rectifiers changes AC to
DC and supply power respectively for their own
intermediate return circuit. The four-quadrant
rectification circuit maintains the voltage of the
intermediate DC stable and makes power factor of
transformer secondary side be close to 1.

15. Circuit diagram
 a) Four-quadrant rectification circuit
 When the main converter is put into operation, firstly the
intermediate DC capacitor is charged via pre-charge
resistance, then line contactor closes to avoid large
current impact. Otherwise, if input voltage is fed directly
into uncharged supporting capacitor bank, it will cause
instantaneous peak current. When the intermediate DC
voltage reaches 95% of its theoretical terminal value
(peak voltage of traction winding), the line contactor can
be switched to closing status.

16. Circuit diagram
 b) Intermediate supporting capacitor
Acted as a power accumulator, the intermediate
supporting capacitor can buffer and smooth action of the
intermediate DC loop voltage. The power accumulator is
essential. Because energy input into the intermediate
loop and energy output into it is not equivalent and it
needs supporting capacitor to implement energy
decoupling for traction converter and traction motor.

17. Circuit diagram
 c) PWM inverter circuit
PWM changes the intermediate DC voltage into three-
phase AC voltage with required frequency and
magnitude and supply it to traction motor according to
train operating requirement.
Each main converter has two traction inverters, and each
traction inverter supply power for two traction motors.

18. Circuit diagram
 d) Four-quadrant rectification circuit and PWM
inverter circuit protection
 Over-voltage protection
When value of DC loop voltage is more than setting value, soft short
protection circuit is triggered and main circuit breaker HVB opens.
 Over-current protection
When short circuit and other faults cause over-current, triggering
pulse of relevant module is blocked automatically before branch
current reaches allowable max. value.
 Traction motor short circuit protection
When traction motor terminal or winding has short circuit, triggering
pulse of PWM will be blocked.
