| Abstract |
Many obsolete drives such as a rheostat, contactor or camshaft-contact controlled DC motor drives have often poor dynamic properties in insufficient adhesion conditions. Light-rail vehicles running in many cities already have switched-mode traction drives with thyristorbased or IGBT-based converters that often lack high quality slip, antilock or creep control. Switched-mode converter based multi-motor drives could be partially upgraded to microcontroller-based control. This paper presents and analyses some approaches to be used for performance, efficiency and safety improvement. |
