The EC250 multiple units, which are called “Giruno” by SBB, run through the Gotthard Base Tunnel and connect Zurich with Milan and later Frankfurt and Milan in record time. Redundant and flat converters were required for these trains, which, among other things, are installed in areas that are difficult to access and must meet the highest standards of reliability.
On the basis of standard DC/DC converters, Elma has developed scalable power supply units with an output of up to 900 W. The devices meet all requirements according to EN50155 and EN4555-2 and provide full performance over the entire temperature range from -40 ° C to 70 ° C without a fan.
