      <title>EVALUATION OF THE WABCO AC PROPULSION SYSTEM. VOLUME 1. CTS/UMTA AC PROPULSION PROJECT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/30121</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In 1971, the Cleveland Transit System received a grant contract from UMTA to test, demonstrate, and evaluate a WABCO solid state AC propulsion system on three rapid transit cars (Project OH-06-0006). The independent evaluation was performed by Transportation and Environmental Operations, TRW, Inc, Redondo Beach, Calif. This is the final project report. AC Pulse Width Modulation propulsion test data is evaluated to determine whether the advantages claimed for AC PWM propulsion were demonstrated. Retrofit feasibility, AC/DC car compatibility, signal compatibility, and electromagnetic interference are assessed. Factors related to the relatively undeveloped state of the AC system limit the specificity of the results and conclusions relative to their applicability to other transit properties in the future. Chapters present project objectives, project description, summary and conclusions, principal task evaluations, the AC/PWM propulsion system, and ancillary task evaluations. A bibliography is furnished.]]></description>

      <title>THYRISTOR CHOPPER CONTROLS FOR D.C. TRACTION SYSTEMS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39985</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Choppers were first designed more than ten years ago. Owing to the advantages of this design, such as the low-loss and stepless control of the motor voltage and current without using mechanical contracts, as opposed to conventional rheostatic control, the chopper is finding increasing application in short-distance traction systems. The article describes design concepts for the running and braking schemes developed to date as well as the equipment required.]]></description>
