Abstract
Development of ac motor drives for rail transit car has centered on the induction motor with pulsewidth modulated (PWM) inverter control. Interest in the induction motor as a replace for the series dc traction motor stems from the simplicity of the squirrel cage rotor of the induction motor. In this article, the short-comings of PWM inverter-induction motor transit car drive are examined. It is shown that the synchronous, or brushless dc, motor drive can provide performance exceeding both the PWM inverter-induction motor and the conventional dc motor in the transit car application.
