  • Home preparation for classes - 30 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
1. Introduction to the issue of electric traction vehicle construction. 2. Concept of traction vehicle design. 3. Regulation of DC traction vehicles with contact elements, resistance regulation. 4. Regulation of AC vehicles with contact technology, with a transformer. 5. Regulation of DC traction vehicles with thyristor elements. 6. Regulation of AC traction vehicles with thyristor elements. 7. Traction drive with brushless motors, their specifics for traction drive. 8. Multi-system asynchronous vehicles, solution variants, problems of electrodynamic and regenerative braking. 9. Public transport vehicles (trams, trolleybuses, metro). 10. Solution of dual-source vehicles in rail transport.
The student is familiar with the issues of traction circuits of electric rail vehicles operated in the Czech Republic, all basic concepts.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the basics of electrical engineering, power engineering and electrical machines.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination

Credit is conditional on attendance at the exercises and meeting other requirements of the instructor. The exam is in writing, the student receives two questions from the material discussed, each of which must be answered at least partially.
