Title: Vehicle drive system
Inventor: SATORU INARIDA
IPC: B60L9/28
Filed: 2016-03-07
Abstract: A vehicle drive system for a motor railcar comprises a pantograph 1 configured to receive supply of an AC power from an overhead wire, a transformer 2 configured to transform the AC power received via the pantagraph, and a plurality of power conversion units. The plurality of power conversion units includes a AC/DC converter 3 for converting AC power from the transformer into DC power and an inverter 4 for converting DC power obtained from the converter into AC power to drive a motor 6.
