LEM solutions for traction electrical measurements

Today, high speed trains, city transit systems (metro, trams, and trolleybuses) and freight trains are the solutions against pollution and interstate traffic immobility and provide a significant energy savings. Power electronics is essential to drive and control energy in these transportation systems. LEM has been a main player in traction power electronics applications and development for the last 45 years and leverages this vast experience to supply solutions for isolated current and voltage measurements.

LEM transducers provide control and protection signals to power converters and inverters that regulate energy to the electric motors (for propulsion) and to the auxiliaries (for air conditioning, heating, lighting, electrical doors, ventilation, etc.). This includes the early monitoring of the voltage network (changing by crossing the European borders) to make the powers electronics working accordingly.　Although this is true for on-board applications, LEM has also provided the same control and protection signals for wayside substations.

The rail industry is under constant changes and evolution. As a recent example, the privatization of the rail networks raised new requirements for which LEM provides: the on board monitoring of power consumption (EM4T II Energy Meter), solutions to trackside applications, rail maintenance and the monitoring of points (switches) machines or signaling conditions with some new transducers families.  LEM is always available to assist in adapting to these evolving technical applications.

Four decades of railway experience has contributed to establishing LEM as a market leader with worldwide presence to serve you and provide the efficient, safe and reliable operation of the railways. With more than 2500 current and voltage transducers in its portfolio, LEM offers a complete range of accurate, reliable and galvanically isolated devices for the measurement of currents from 0.01 A to 20000 A and voltages from 10 V to 6400 V in various technologies: Open Loop, Closed Loop, Isolating digital technology, etc.

LEM transducers for railway applications are designed according to the most demanding international standards (EN50155, EN50124-1, NFF 16101, 16102, etc) and carry CE marking. UL or UR is also available on selected models. We have worldwide ISO 9000 and ISO TS 16949 and IRIS qualification and offer a 5-year warranty on all of our products. LEM constantly innovates and strives to improve the performance, cost and sizes of its products. LEM is a worldwide company with offices across the globe and production facilities in Europe (included Russia), Asia and America.

Innovation

Since 1972, LEM has continued to invest in research and development to meet customer demands.
