Simulations of processes in the power circuit of VL10 (VL-10W) locomotives with traction motors connected in series

详细

Results of simulations of the processes of changing currents and voltages in power circuits of VL10 (VL-10W) locomotives with traction motors, which are connected in series, in cold insulation have been considered. Taking the thermal state of the insulation structures of traction motors of locomotives into account is a new approach in simulations of electrical processes in power circuits. Such a differentiated approach to simulating the electrical processes in power circuits of locomotives became possible when the capacitive components of anchor and pole windings of traction motors in locomotives were studied and taken into account in the equivalent circuits, as well as their temperature dependences. In this work, the results of simulations of the processes of changing currents and voltages in power circuits of VL10 (VL-10W) locomotives during a start from rest in the case of series connection of traction motors with insulation temperature of their anchor and pole windings equal to 20°C. The results of simulations are shown as graphic time dependences of currents and voltages in the main elements of a locomotive power circuit.
