Abstract
The main motor for a railway vehicle is rotationally driven upon receiving an AC power supplied from an inverter circuit that includes a switching element formed by using a wide bandgap semiconductor. The inverter circuit applies a voltage having a PWM waveform to the main motor for a railway vehicle in at least part of a speed range of an electric vehicle. The stator of the main motor for a railway vehicle is configured to include an annular stator core provided with a plurality of slots in a circumferential direction and coils that are wound on the stator core and are accommodated in the slots, and includes a stator winding that is three-phase star-connected and is composed of parallel circuits the number of which is the same as the number of poles for each phase.
