RECENT APPLICATION OF THYRISTORS TO JNR ROLLING STOCK

A general introduction is made of the application of thyristors to Japanese National Railroads rolling stock, dealing with the usage of thyristors for the controlling of power running and braking of electric rolling stock, and also as thyristor inverters for coach heating on dc electrification lines, ac power sources for train radio equipment at times of power failure, and controlling circuits for the purpose of saving manpower in maintenance work by realizing contact-less and arc-less circuits.
