LOCOMOTIVES WITH SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS

Jean-Pierre Hamel, H. May

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

One of the main advances expected in traction motors in the next few years is the disappearance of the commutator. The authors describe an alternative solution in the form of self-drive synchronous motors. The new system was tried out on a class BB 15000 (BB 15055) single phase locomotive belonging to the SNCF. The article discusses traction, regenerative and rheostatic braking, protection of the power circuits, the traction motor and ends with an appraisal of the tests, some of which are still being carried out.
