Power electronics has been rapidly applied in all types of adjustable speed drives. Railway traction is probably one of the fields that took most advantage of the successive innovations of this technology, as is shown by the rapid improvement of trains' performances and passengers' comfort. This paper underlines some examples of recent history, and the influence of this technology on the choice of the propulsion system. It also shows how on-board auxiliary power supplies have benefited from the new technologies.
