AUTOMATIC VARIABLE FIELD CHOPPER CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC RAILCARS

A description is presented of 1) principle of the AVF chopper control system; 2) analysis of field characteristics, the field intensity to the chopper- conduction ratio; 3) applying the AVF system to high voltage, large capacity, high frequency chopper equipment; and 4) test results on the Chiyoda Line of Tokyo's Teito Rapid Transit Authority.
