Thyristors are used for all fields of application on railway traction vehicles; vehicles are controlled by d-c chopper regulators in battery or d-c trolley wire operation, and by thyristor load transfer switches for a-c operation; with rectifier operation, stepless voltage variation is obtained by phase control via thyristors; with thyristor controls it is easy to arrange for regenerative braking.
