Abstract

The process of creating and researching a model of a traction electric motor of an electric locomotive in the environment of computer circuit modeling is considered. The model takes into account the magnetization curve of a real motor and the nonlinear inductance of the excitation winding, which makes it possible to more adequately reflect electromagnetic processes. The inductance of the excitation winding is determined based on the slope of the magnetization curve and the parameters of the winding poles. The model also allows it to be used in circuit modeling of transients in the electric power circuit of an electric locomotive. Two traction motor models were compared: one took into account the magnetization curve, and the other implemented a linear model in which the inductance of the excitation winding is constant. The parameters of the traction engine from operation were also compared with the calculation results of the developed model. The results of the comparison showed that the use of a nonlinear model makes it possible to calculate the traction motor current more accurately.
