On-board power supply for linear induction train - has inductive coupling to track and three phase coils supplied with magnetic fields from superconductive windings

摘要

The linear induction drive hovertrain is operated by a non-ferrous induction motor. The drive system carries on-board coils to operate with special ferromagnetic loops in the track. The coils are linked to a charging circuit for an on board battery to power ancillary equipment. The system provides a contactless power supply for the hovertrain, which does not affect the train drive. The system powers air conditioning, lights etc. with battery back-up when the vehicle is stationary.
