Future possibilities of electric brake for electric multiple units

Last updated on 11 October 2013 3:35

Induction motors and inverters are widely used for traction drive of electric vehicles. With this three phase drive, we can shift from powering to braking without using contactors and realize regenerative brake through pantograph and overhead lines feeding brake energy to loads such as other train in powering. We...
