Abstract: A device for switching stator sections that are arranged on both sides of a guideway, for instance of a magnetic levitation railway system. In order for the device to be installed in as independent a manner as possible, the separately installed switching stations comprise not more than three switchboard sections each and are associated with only one stator section. The switching sections are therefore more compact and less heavy.

Abstract: A system has at least two guideway-related guideway components of a track guideway and a transformer station, which is electrically connected to the at least two guideway components and supplies the same with an output voltage for the purpose of power supply. The transformer station generates, on the output side, a higher output voltage than the guideway component connected thereto requires as the operating voltage for its operation. The guideway components are equipped with respective voltage reducing devices which reduce the supply voltage, supplied by the transformer station, to the operating voltage which the individual guideway component requires.

Abstract: A long stator motor, particularly for driving a magnetic levitation transport system, includes a stator iron, inside of which grooves for accommodating cable windings are provided. At least two cable windings are placed one above the other by running at least two cables inside each groove.

Abstract: A circuit device is disclosed which is used to increase useable motor voltage in a long stator drive. Further, suitable methods for operating a magnetically levitated vehicle provided with the circuit device are also disclosed. In one embodiment of the present invention, the stator section of the long stator drive is connected to the energy supply line on two connection points by way of a first and a second switch. A third switch is located between both connection points arranged on the energy supply line. Both of the stator section connections are connected to the ground potential by way of a fourth and a fifth switch. In one embodiment, in order to accelerate the magnetically levitated vehicle, the first and the second switches are closed and all other switches are opened. The stator section is cross-flown in a direct manner by current in the energy supply line.

Abstract: A power supply to the motor of a magnetic levitation railway system is provided with higher shut-off security which is comparably more economical and compact, and has a shorter shut-off time. As a result, a power supply device of at least one embodiment is provided with a frequency converter which is connected in a direct manner to an energy supply network with the input switching system. The frequency converter contains a rectifier which is arranged downstream from the input switching system, an intermediate circuit which is connected to the rectifier, an inverted rectifier end step which is arranged downstream from the intermediate circuit and which comprises an associated control device and an output switching system which is connected to the inverted rectifier end step and which is directly connected to the motor.

Abstract: A device is for braking a magnetic levitation railway, wherein the stator winding of a linear motor is short-circuited as a brake winding in a last section before an end of the route. There is a provision for two stator windings which extend alternately on the stator to be present in a penultimate section.
