CONVERTER PROPULSION SYSTEMS WITH THREE-PHASE INDUCTION MOTORS FOR ELECTRIC TRACTION VEHICLES

Converter systems for high-power electric traction vehicles and for smaller vehicles are described, which do not drain reactive power from the supply line or even feed reactive power into the line, if necessary, and produce only a small amount of harmonics. Some test and production vehicles with three-phase induction motors, test data, and experiences in service of such vehicles are described.
