The recent introduction into mainline service in Europe of locomotives using a.c. traction motors has provided added stimulus to the numerous investigations now being undertaken in this field. The goal of this work is to exploit the advantages of a.c. traction motors, namely higher power density, lower maintance costs, and higher torque. The present paper deals with one group of locomotive power converters within this class, outlining some practical alternatives of current-source converters capable of producing an acceptable traction performance.
