POWER ELECTRONICS ON SINGLE-PHASE AC ROLLING STOCK

LEISTUNGSELEKTRONIK AUF WECHSELSTROM-TRIEBFAHRZEUGEN

Following the production of ultra-pure silicon by Siemens, an exciting new era of development began in the field of silicon power semiconductors. Diodes and thyristors soon found application in traction systems. A review of rolling stock equipped with semiconductor devices is followed by a description of the advantages and disadvantages of the new methods of control and of the present technical level attained by diodes and thyristors. In conclusion the authors give details of brushless traction motors.
