SEPARATELY EXCITED DC TRACTION MOTOR APPLIED TO DC AND SINGLE PHASE AC RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMS AND ELECTRIFIED RAILROADS--1

The introduction of power thyristors and rectifiers in dc-dc chopper and ac-dc converter circuits allows the replacement of the traditional dc series motor by the separately excited dc motor. This paper considers the characteristics of separately excited dc motors operating from either a dc input with a dc chopper using dynamic braking, or from a single-phase ac input with an ac-dc converter using regenerative braking.
