SEPARATELY EXCITED DC TRACTION MOTOR APPLIED TO DC AND SINGLE PHASE AC RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMS AND ELECTRIFIED RAILROADS--2

The separately excited dc traction motor can be used for traction only because of the availability of large power thyristors. In this paper, the type of control circuit required in order to use the separately excited dc motor (dc-dc chopper or ac-dc converters) is investigated depending on the power supply available (ac or dc).
