The paper deals with mathematical modelling of dynamic response of the electric locomotive wheelset drive caused by short-circuit traction motor torque. The individual wheelset drive is composed of five subsystems – rotor of the traction motor with driving gear, driven gear, stator of the traction motor with gear housing, hollow graduated shaft with clutches and wheelset. The couplings between subsystems are linearized in dependence on longitudinal creepage and locomotive forward velocity before sudden short-circuit in the asynchronous traction motor. In comparison with previous models of the wheelset drives, the rotor of the electromotor is characterized by flexible shaft supported on flexible rolling-element bearings. The sheet metal packet of cylindrical shape is connected by parallel cooper bars with two short circuit rings. In consequence of strong excitation an interruption of gear mesh can be observed. This nonlinear effect and dynamic load of individual wheelset drive with large number of DOF is investigated using the condensed mathematical model created by modal synthesis method.
