Abstract
The paper presents a special design of an
induction motor used for direct drive tramcar without use
of any gears. According to this design, the motor was
arranged around the wheel-set within a small given
space. Aspects concerning some design elements (iron
sheets, open slots, magnetic wedges), structure of the data
acquisition system and test results on the prototype motor
are presented in the paper. Measurement results show that
by special design, the induction motor proved to be a
good economical solution, meting the demands of power
and torque in direct drive street cars application
