%0 Journal Article %T The Simulation of the Traction Drive with Middle-Frequency Transformer %A Pavel Drabek %A Martin Pittermann %A Marek Cedl %A Miroslav Los %J Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering %D 2008 %I Technical University of Ostrava %X This paper presents research motivated by industrial demand for special traction drive topology devoted to minimization of traction transformer weight against topology with classical 50Hz traction transformer. The special traction drive topology for AC power systems consists of input high voltage trolley converter (single phase matrix converter) ¨Cmiddle frequency transformer - output converter - traction motor has been described. The main attention has been given tothe control algorithm of the traction topology (inserting of NULL vector of matrix converter and Two-value control ofsecondary active rectifier). %K Traction driver %K middle-frequency transformer %K matrix converter. %U http://advances.utc.sk/index.php/AEEE/article/view/59
