Computing sections (31, 32) compute an average front-wheel speed VwF=(VwFL+VwFR)/2 and an average rear wheel speed VwR=(VwRL+VwRR)/2, and then the resulting values (VwF and VwR) are passed through band-pass filtering sections (33, 34) to extract only a com...

A wheel slip control for DC series wound traction motor vehicles such as railway locomotives in which each traction motor drives an axle and connected wheel set. The control utilizes motor field shunting, also known as field weakening, for providing wheel ...

The method serves for detection of a faulty ground connection in an electrical device (1), in particular of a motor vehicle. For this purpose, the following method steps are provided: determining a measured value of a detection parameter by means of a dete...
