Reactive inductor machines on transport

Abstract

Abstract The experience of using reactive inductor machines (RIM) on vehicles is described. Over the past decade, the interest in RIM for the transport industry has significantly increased. One of the promising areas of RIM use is hybrid vehicles. A RIM has a simple design, high reliability and performance. It is capable of operating in motor and generator modes. The world experience in the development of vehicles with RIM has been promising in using this type of electric machines in electric power transmissions of locomotives.
