  • Abstract
    This series of tutorial articles explains the electrical and control engineering background in electric railways. The articles cover traction drives with DC and AC traction motors, electrification systems, and railway signalling and control systems. This first article covers the nature of the traction load, the requirements of the traction duty cycle and power electronic controlled traction drives using DC machines.<>
