Abstract
A pulse width modulation chopper controller for a D.C. traction motor has plug sensing means which monitors the voltage across the motor armature on a pulse-by-pulse basis and is responsive, only when the power switch is turned on, to the motor acting as a generator to limit the 'on-time' of the power switch before current of high magnitude can flow in the motor.
