| Abstract | This report is one of a series concerned with the application of ac machines as traction motors for railroad motive power. It presents results of a laboratory evaluation and computer analysis of different inverter systems. Three inverter systems, sine wave, pulse-width modulated, and parallel capacitor commutated, were selected as being representative of inverter types applicable to traction use and were evaluated under similar operating conditions with asynchronous ac motors. The report includes descriptions of operating theory for each inverter type studied, descriptions of test circuitry, test procedures, and analysis of test results. Efficiency, power factor, distortion, regeneration, device utilization, and their effects on system characteristics and influence on system selection are discussed. |
