RAILROAD MOTOR CARS WITH INVERTOR FED ASYNCHRONOUS DRIVE FOR LOCAL TRAFFIC IN THE UNITED STATES

NAHVERKEHRSTRIEBWAGEN MIT UMRICHTERGESPEISTEM ASYNCHRONMOTORANTRIEB IN DEN USA

The development of a three-phase power transmission system for the Cleveland Transit System is reported. The lines are equipped with overhead contacts for the 600-v dc system. The transmission system converts the direct current into three-phase current of variable voltage and frequency so that the three-phase short-circuit rotor motors can be used as traction motors. Details about the electric and mechanical systems are presented.
