Global Railway Traction Motor Market - Size, Trend, Share, Opportunity Analysis & Forecast, 2014-2025
Railway traction motors are series-wound brushed DC motors, usually running on approximately 600 Volts. The availability of high-powered semiconductors (such as thyristors and the IGBT) have made the use of much simpler, higher-reliability AC induction motors known as asynchronous traction motors possible. The substantial improvement of the railroads in the twentieth century is connected to the electrification of the rail route lines. Traditionally, railways ran on steam motors. Several nations have adopted railroads electrification, monorail systems, and metros. With the...
