RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT POSITION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY IN THE FEDERAL GERMAN REPUBLIC

FORSCHUNGS- UND ENTWICKLUNGSSTAND DER ELEKTROMAGNETISCHEN SCHWEBETECHNIK IN DER BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND

The experimental vehicles and the test equipment brought into service to date include test rigs for stationary and rotational measurement of static and dynamic parameters as well as the detection of eddy currents. Performance tests on the experimental vehicles are reported, in which electromagnetic suspension technology is preferred to air cushion technology. The aims for the experimental vehicles are given as: V max = 400 km/h, 200 to 400 people working load, energy consumption in the region of comparable rail bound vehicles. Asynchronous short stator motors and synchronous long stator motors are compared. A comparison of the principal dimensions demonstrates the pronounced dependency of the actual power supplied on efficiency and phase displacement. /TRRL/
