23 + 34 units built for RENFE (Spanish railways)
These units shall be made up of consists of five cars with shared bogies, which
can be coupled making up consists of up to three units (fifteen cars), with
control from a single driver cab.
Circulation of the 23 units is planned only on Iberian gauge tracks. Although
the initial operation of the 34 units shall also be on Iberian gauge tracks, these
34 units have been fitted with installation to run on international gauge
infrastructures (UIC) with the possibility of the Brava variable gauge bogie
being fitted which allows circulation on both Iberian gauge and international
gauge tracks. The Brava system changes the gauge automatically, with the
train in motion and without the need for any previous preparations or
stoppages (the change is made at approximately 30 km/h).
The maximum unit speed shall be 160 km/h. For the changeable units, once
changed, they can travel at 200 km/h on UIC gauge tracks fed at 25 kV). All
the units have a capacity of 263 places (including 1 PRM and 2 flip-up seats)
and there are three WCs (two standard and one for PRM), and a multifunctional
area (with vending, bicycle rack and rest area).
Traction equipment:
The power system consists of two identical power units which operate
independently such that should one of them break down the train can continue
running.
The total installed power shall be 2,400 kW.
Carbody:
The train consists of three clearly different types of carbody. An end car
carbody, an intermediate car carbody and an intermediate car carbody with half
low floor.
The carbodies of all the vehicles making up the Train are self supporting and
built in aluminium in order to reduce the Train mass and energy consumption
as much as possible and for its high resistance to corrosion.
The structure of the vehicles is based on fully welded extruded aluminium
sections.
The intermediate car carbody is fitted with a low floor area to ease access to
the train for passengers in wheelchairs.
Bogies:
The train has six bogies: Two end bogies and four shared intermediate bogies.
Both types are made up of a frame, two axles with their corresponding axle
boxes, spring primary suspension, pneumatic secondary suspension, a carbody-
bogie linking device and brake equipment consisting of axle mounted discs.
Power for auxiliary equipment:
To supply the auxiliary equipment, each train is fitted with two auxiliary
converters with their own battery chargers. Each converter can provide 100%
of the loads at maximum performance, permitting total redundancy of the
system.
Should a static converter fail, the other converter shall automatically begin to
supply the loads of the failed converter, without the train losing performance.
HVAC:
The train saloon HVAC system consists of one HVAC unit per car, each with a
double cooling circuit. Each unit is compact and assembled in a single block.
With this configuration, a cooling power of 43 kW/car is achieved and a heat
power of 20 kW/car with an impelled air flow per car of 5,200.
