Traction Equipment

This paper describes the evolution of the electric multiple unit traction equipment of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTRC). Traction energy efficiency is particularly important to the MTRC and has been improved by 46 per cent on the most recently supplied cars. The justification for the conversion of the existing camshaft cars to chopper control and the relative merits of different types of drives in MTRC's application are discussed. The utilization of energy, the method used to optimize coasting for energy saving, life-cycle costs and the design features of the gate turn-off thyristor chopper cars are described.
