In June, 1971, the Cleveland Transit System received a grant contract (Project OH-06-0006) from the Department of Transportation's Urban Mass Transportation Administration to test and evaluate on three rapid transit cars an AC propulsion system developed by the Westinghouse Air Brake Company (WABCO). The AC propulsion system incorporates a pulse width modulated inverter to convert constant voltage DC energy to variable frequency, variable voltage AC energy which in turn powers simple AC traction motors. The report describes the data acquisition system which was developed to measure, record and analyze performance data for the AC-powered rapid transit cars. The report is one of a series on various aspects of the project.
