THREE-PHASE TRACTION MOTOR FOR D.C. TRAMS

DREHSTROMANTRIEB FUER GLEICHSTROMBAHNEN

A tram traction motor of squirrel-cage design is described. The motor is supplied by a converter consisting of a d.c. controller and an inverter with phase-sequence suppression. The vehicle has a combined regenerative and dynamic brake system. The transient characteristics of the motor are similar to those of a series-wound traction motor fed through a d.c. controller.
