  • Abstract
    This paper presents the control systems for DC traction motors. The developments in power converters, particularly GTO thyristors and IGBTs, and the use of microprocessor controllers have produced control systems which offer a wide and flexible control range with efficient power conversion, while utilising relatively simple control techniques. The main limitation is the motor commutator which requires maintenance and restricts high speed performance.
