Feasibility demonstration of back-to-back method for induction traction motors testing

The authors present the feasibility demonstration of energy-saving back-to-back test method implementation for induction traction motors testing. The results of theoretical and physical modeling that support the energy effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed backto-back method are presented in the article. The effectivity ratio of the test circuit has been calculated due to confirm the energy effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method, and also authors identified a number of advantages of the back-to-back method for high power induction traction motors
