Abstract [eng] This article presents an analysis of the causes behind the development of asymmetric modes in a traction drive system that features direct torque control (DTC) of a rolling stock with asynchronous traction motors. The development of asymmetric modes in the traction drive system was found to be caused by the asymmetry of the supply voltage system, the asymmetry of the traction motor windings, and transient processes triggered by a change in the inverter supply voltage and variation in the traction motor load. At the same time, the asymmetric modes caused by the asymmetry of the feed voltage system and the windings of the traction motor are the emergency modes. The influence of the asymmetry of the feed voltage system and asymmetry of the windings of traction motor on the starting characteristics of the phase currents and flux linkages of the stator in the steady-state mode was investigated. In these cases, the ratio of the amplitudes of phase currents and flux linkages of the stator of different phases was found to be constant. The effect of a variation in the feed voltage and load acting on the motor shaft on the starting characteristics of phase currents and flux linkages of the stator was investigated in the case of absence of the emergency modes. In these cases, the ratio of the amplitudes of phase currents and flux linkages of the stator of different phases was found to not be constant. The amplitudes of the phase current and stator flux linkage were proposed as criteria for diagnosis and identification of asymmetric emergency modes. An algorithm and a structural scheme have been proposed for the diagnosis of emergency asymmetric modes in the traction drive system with direct torque control. Modifications to the traction drive system with direct torque control are suggested in order to diagnose the presence of faulty asymmetric modes and identify the damaged traction drive element.
