THREE-PHASE CURRENT TRACTION MOTORS FOR RAILWAY VEHICLES OVER ALMOST A CENTURY

DREHSTROM-FAHRMOTOREN FUER SCHIENENFAHRZEUGE SEIT NAHEZU EINEM JAHRHUNDERT

The article shows the developments which have taken place in three-phase current traction motors as propulsion systems for railway vehicles, starting from the first usable three- phase current motor built in 1891 and going right up to the three-phase current technique applied to the E120, of which the DB has provisionally ordered 5 prototypes.
