Abstract

In the operation of railways with long-stator linear motors, the drive energy is to be applied to the vehicle from a distributing sub-station with optimally-low losses. This presumes that the entire line is not constantly supplied with energy, but is only supplied with energy in sub-regions. Only such sub-regions are to be supplied with propulsion energy in a time-suitable manner, dependent on the location of the vehicle. The propulsion traveling wave winding is sub-divided into successive sections that can be supplied with propulsion energy from the distributing sub-stations with the assistance of separate switches. A crossed double line is, likewise, divided into sections and is provided parallel to the sections, the portions of the crossed double line overlapping. The individual sections are connected to a stationary central station, which receives signals output by the vehicle in a section-associated manner. These signals serve the purpose of controlling the switches for the turn-on and turn-off of the propulsion energy.
