Power converters
2. Power converters for electric vehicles
2.3. Application comparison
Public transport vehicles
- Traction trolley power supply - stable (with a certain tolerance) DC voltage
- Large installation space (roof containers)
- Air-cooled inverters
- Modularity
- Noise level requirements: yes, but limited

Containers for traction equipment of public transport vehicles
Electric and hybrid cars
- Traction battery supply → significant difference between charged and discharged battery voltage.
- Limited space for drive installation
- Liquid cooling
- Modularity? There is not much space.
- Noise level requirements: high
