V. POWER ELECTRONICS 3. MAGLEV TRANSPORT; HIGH TECHNOLOGY APPLIED TO ELECTRIC POWER ENGINEERING

This article discusses the application of power electronics to maglev transport using Japan's HSST-03 and MLU-001 as examples. The miniaturization of the propulsion systems depends on use of GTO, and the levitation system would have been impossible without high-speed, large-capacity devices.
