COMMUTATORLESS MOTOR FOR ROLLING STOCK

Communtatorless motors are synchronous motors or induction motors which use semiconductors. In rolling stock applications improve traction motor performance, increase output and eliminate maintenance. Speed control can be achieved by controlling the applied voltage and frequency. Several commutatorless motor systems for rolling stock applications are described. The specifications and performance of a 110 kw self-controlled thyistor motor are outlined.
