Urban rail propulsion systems in use around the world are carefully discussed in this single-source book. It especially spotlights the status of advanced propulsion systems and their electromagnetic compatability characteristics. It presents actual operating experience of transit systems. Systems covered include: Cam controlled and chopper controlled dc drives, inverter controlled ac drives, and linear introduction motors. Also contains signaling systems data from Europe, Japan and U.S. The contents include; DC drives with cam controller, DC drives with chopper controller. AC drives using induction motors, AC drives using synchronous motors, flywheel systems for onboard energy storage. AC drives using linear induction motors, track circuits and electromagnetic interference, conducted and induced noise in track circuits, electromagnetic compatibility of chopper-controlled DC drives, electromagnetic compatibility of inverter-controlled AC drives. Electromagnetic compatibility investigations.
