Abstract
A train driven by a linear thyristor motor (LTM) moves by one pitch of the ground coil in every cycle of the power supply voltage. Therefore the vehicular speed is determined by the power supply frequency, and the travel distance is determined by the number of cycles of the supplied power source voltage. This means that the speed and location of the vehicle are monitored and controlled completely by the power supply system. Hence, no information channel is required at least theoretically which connects the vehicle with the ground station. This paper proposes a power supply and control system for LTM and confirms its operating performances using an outdoor loop-type model system with circumferential length of 100 m.
