Objective This proposal will develop and validate the HVB device for railway systems at 25KV-50Hz. The concept of this device has been studied in HVB project ('98-DGVII) and will face the urgent need of European railways to upgrade their electrical infrastructure at low cost and low environmental impact, in order to face the increasing request of traffic. An industrial consortium, universities and research centres will design and prototype the device, making the maximum effort to comply with the railway requirements, especially in terms of interoperability of the device. The railway end-users will test the prototype in two different countries and will represent the short time market for the industrial product, whilst other railways will draft an exploitation plan for other countries having the same problem.
