This paper describes the propulsion system of new MBTA Orange Line trains. The new train is supplied by 600 VDC 3rd rail power and adopts three-phase asynchronous traction motor instead of the DC traction motor. The paper covers the train configuration, performance requirement, and overview of the propulsion system. The propulsion functions, including powering and braking control, friction brake interface control, and diagnostics and VMS interface, are given here. Some functions, such as line voltage limit, dynamic braking control, brake blending and holding brake control, slide control, snow brake control, roll back control, and so on, are provided in details here. The designed propulsion system fulfilled MBTA technical requirement.
