Traction Drive Rating and Energy Consumption: Traction Drive Rating and Energy Consumption - The speed-time curve of Fig. I0.6(a) is reproduced in Fig. 10.9. For simplification in calculations, it is…
Driving Axle Code for Locomotives: Driving Axle Code for Locomotives - Weight of the locomotive is supported on axles which are coupled to wheels. The weight per axle is limited…
Coefficient of Adhesion in Traction: In Coefficient of Adhesion in Traction, the task of driving equipment consists of pushing the carriage on which it is mounted and pulling coaches and…
Switched Reluctance Motor: The switched reluctance motor (SRM) has both salient pole stator and rotor, like variable stepper motor, but they are designed for different applications, and therefore, with different…
Operation of Synchronous Motor: Operation of Synchronous Motor - For any speed other than synchronous speed, the relative speed between air gap flux wave and the rotor is not zero.…
Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor: Speed-torque curves for Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor are given in Fig. 6.50. While maximum torque is independent of rotor resistance, speed at…
Eddy Current Drives: Eddy Current Drives consists of an eddy current clutch placed between an induction motor running at a fixed speed and the variable speed load. Speed is controlled…
Variable Frequency Control of Induction Motor Drive: Variable Frequency Control of Induction Motor Drive - Synchronous speed, therefore, the motor speed can be controlled by varying supply frequency. Voltage induced…
