    Electric Traction-I: Requirements of Ideal Traction System

    Electric traction systems use electrical energy to propel vehicles, as opposed to non-electric traction systems. An ideal electric traction system would develop high tractive effort for rapid acceleration, allow easy speed control of traction motors, and allow vehicles to run continuously on any route with minimal efficient equipment and without smoke or dirt. Regenerative braking should also be possible to feed energy back into the supply system. Electric traction systems are cleaner and easier to handle than non-electric systems, require no storage of coal or water, and allow energy to be drawn directly from the supply distribution system. Maintenance and running costs are also lower for electric traction.

    Electric Traction-I

    The system that causes the propulsion of a vehicle in which that driving
    force or tractive force is obtained from various devices such as electric
    motors, steam engine drives, diesel engine dives, etc. is known as traction
    system.
    Traction system may be broadly classified into two types. They are
    electric-traction systems, which use electrical energy, and non-electric
    traction system, which does not use electrical energy for the propulsion of
    vehicle.

    Requirements of ideal traction system


    Ideal traction system should have the capability of developing high tractive
    effort in order to have rapid acceleration.
    The speed control of the traction motors should be easy.
    Vehicles should be able to run on any route, without interruption.
    Equipment required for traction system should be minimum with high
    efficiency.
    It must be free from smoke, ash, durt, etc.
    Regenerative braking should be possible and braking should be in such a

    Locomotive should be self-contained and it must be capable of


    withstanding overloads.
    Interference to the communication lines should be eliminated while the
    locomotive running along the track
    Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Traction
    Electric traction system is more clean and easy to handle.
    No need of storage of coal and water that in turn reduces the maintenance cost as
    well as the saving of high-grade coal.
    Electric energy drawn from the supply distribution system is sufficient to
    maintain the common necessities of locomotives such as fans and lights; therefore,
    there is no need of providing additional generators.
    The maintenance and running costs are comparatively low.
    The speed control of the electric motor is easy.
    Regenerative braking is possible so that the energy can be fed back to the supply
    system during the braking period.
    In electric traction system, in addition to the mechanical braking, electrical
    braking can also be used that reduces the wear on the brake shoes, wheels, etc.
    Electrically operated vehicles can withstand for overloads, as the system is
    capable of drawing more energy from the system.
