Abstract
Asynchronous induction motors are very well suited to powerful traction drives. For electric locomotives and motor coaches with single-phase supply, a power conversion on the vehicle is necessary. Three different types of static power converters for this application are described. Indirect ac converters with direct voltage link have been developed successfully in the past. For indirect ac converters with direct current link some problems are discussed. At last a self-commutated direct ac converter with suppressed dc link is presented.Keywords
