The urban trams with a low floor are more convenient for the passengers, and with a high floor - more cheaply and more technologically during manufacturing and operation. The combined advantages those and others in themselves are trams with average height of a floor, but for this purpose it is necessary to lower height of tram carriages, that is reached by application of electric motors with a small stator external diameter. It is offered in this the perspective electric drive on the base of the synchronous motor with independent excitation. The salient rotor poles of the motor do not contain windings. The motors stator is carried out on the base of the stator body of regular AC electric motor. The multiphase winding is located in the stator. A winding section, which conductors settle down above the between rotor poles, carry out a role of the excitation winding, and others, which conductors lay above poles, - a role of the armature winding.

The article solves the problem of increasing the energy efficiency of the traction electric drive in the low load conditions. The set objective is achieved by analogy with internal combustion engines by decreasing the consumed energy using the amplitude control of the three-phase voltage of the induction machine. The basis of the amplitude control is laid by the constancy criterion of the overload capacity with respect to the electromagnetic torque, which provides a reliable reserve from a "breakdown" of the induction machine mode in a wide range of speeds and loads. The control system of the traction electric drive contains a reference model of electromechanical energy conversion represented by the generalized equations of the instantaneous balance of the active and reactive power and the mechanical load. The induction machine is controlled by two adaptive variables: the electromagnetic torque and the voltage amplitude.

The paper solves the problem of increasing the accuracy of measuring torque and use of an electronic torque meter as a feedback sensor of synchronous and induction machines of an electric traction drive. Relevance of the problem and methods for its solving by indirect means using simulation models of electric machines are considered. The theoretical development of the meter is based on the energy model of electric machines in the form of differential equations for active and reactive power balance. This eliminates the direct influence of instability and nonlinearity of inductive elements and takes into account electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and harmonic losses using the simplest algorithms. Key variables of the model in the form of total active power and angular velocity are measured directly, and the high nominal efficiency of traction machines (95%) provides a wide tolerance range for calculating total losses.
