IEC 62589:2010规定了一些型式试验的要求，这些试验只有在对整个变流器组进行时才有意义。还提供了牵引变压器和变流器兼容额定值之间的基本关系，以便为其额定值的选择提供最低要求。此外，还给出了选择具有适合所涉及转换器组特性的开关设备时应考虑的最小值。

IEC 62589:2010 provides requirements for some type tests which are significant only when made on the entire converter group. Provides also a basic relationship between compatible ratings of traction transformer and converter(s), in order to provide minimum requirements for the choice of their ratings. Moreover gives the minimum values to be considered in order to choose switching devices with characteristics suitable for the converter group(s) involved.
