Anti-slip Re-adhesion Control Method to Increase Starting Tractive Effort of Inverter-fed Electric Locomotive

The Japan Freight Railway Company has developed an inverter-controlled diesel hybrid shunting locomotive, type HD300, to replace aging DE10 diesel shunting locomotives. In the early stage of development, it was difficult to secure sufficient tractive effort just after starting. Therefore, a re-adhesion control method was developed to minimize torque reduction...
