DYNAMIC BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PLURAL TRACTION MOTORS

摘要

A control system for controlling the condition of a plurality of electric motors in a single unit or a plurality of electrically powered units connected together for multiple unit operation whereby the units are enabled to operate uniformly. Where the system is adapted for use as a dynamic braking control system for controlling the dynamic braking of a plurality of electric traction motors in a plurality of electrically powered vehicles connected together for multiple vehicle operation, the system enables the percent of maximum braking which occurs in each vehicle to be equal so that each vehicle exerts the same percentage braking effort with respect to ever other vehicle in the multiple vehicle arrangement.
