PURPOSE:To improve the utilization factor of the power converter with a greater operation density of vehicles by means of a switch for connecting feeder blocks between the adjacent power feeding sections. CONSTITUTION:The linear motor unit in the power feeding section is divided into the front side block and the rear side block while the feeder block is divided into the segments Fnf and the feeder block Fnb, which are connected to a power converter PCn through switches SW2nf and SW2nb. In addition, the front side feeder block F(n-1)f in the adjacent power feeding section n-1 is connected to the feeder block Fnb while the rear side feeder block F(n+1)b in the section to the feeder block Fnf through the switches SW3(n-1)n and SW3n(n+1). With such an arrangement, rear collision and space adjustment between vehicles can be done when two vehicles exist in the same power feeding section, so that the operation density is improved to ensure the efficient use of the power converter. |
