An Electric Drive Based on Asynchronous Electric Machines for Special Self-Propelled Rolling Stock
摘要
Abstract
The article considers the results of development and implementation of traction electrical-equipment kits based on asynchronous motor–generators and traction asynchronous motors for electromechanical transmissions of special self-propelled rolling stock—motor locomotives, railcars, laying cranes, and shunting diesel locomotives. The advantages in fuel economy, improved traction and dynamic characteristics, increased reliability, and reduced operating costs compared to similar compositions based on synchronous generators and collector electric motors, as well as compositions with hydraulic transmission, are shown.
