Title: ELECTRIC MOTOR PROPULSION USED IN ICEBREAKING BY CARGO SHIPS
Abstract: This paper suggests that ships required to operate without icebreaker assistance in sea areas where thick ice may be encountered, propulsion by electric motors is advantageous. In most cases, dc-motors are used for this purpose. Very high output ratings may be obtained by the use of synchronous motors fed by cycloconverters.
