MODERN DRIVE TECHNOLOGY OF ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES FOR LONG-DISTANCE TRAFFIC

MODERNE ANTRIEBSTECHNIK ELEKTRISCHER TRIEBFAHRZEUGE FUER DEN FERNVERKEHR

Due to the progressive development in power and control electronics, the technology of the driving systems used in long-distance traffic is getting still more efficient, at the same time reducing the maintenance costs. By giving some examples, the possibilities arising for switchgear, undulating current and three-phase locomotives effects are shown. The topics covered range from the problems of the reactions on the supply system to the adhesion conditions between wheel and rail. The technical prerequisites are being approached from the angle of the technology of the driving systems for long-distance and high-speed traffic.
