Abstract :
In 1991, an agreement was signed between the University of Central Queensland and Queensland Rail for joint development research and technology transfer on a three phase asynchronous motor drive suitable for electric traction vehicle (AC Traction Drive Project). The aim of this project is to develop a program of continuing education based on the design, simulation, analysis and prototype construction of converter/inverter and drive control for a three phase induction motor for traction systems. This research work is carried out by the staff of the Drives, Power Electronics and Traction Systems Laboratory. Some of the results so far are highlighted
