Power conditioning unit development for MAG-TRANSIT
Abstract
The results of a development program which has been completed on a modular inverter, referred to as the Power Conditioning Unit (PCU), employing many parallel TO-3 transistors, are discussed. The PCU has been designed to provide a precisely controlled, variable voltage, variable frequency excitation to a linear induction motor in the MAG-TRANSIT system, a form of magnetically levitated vehicles for people mover applications. The CPU, which consists of eight power modules, with 24 transistors each, has demonstrated a capacity of 73.4 kVA.
