| 11. | As a result . the rebuilt Class 18E locomotives were equipped with rheostatic braking instead of regenerative braking.
|
| 12. | Locomotive electric brake ratings are ~ in regenerative mode and ~ in rheostatic ( resistor-only ) mode.
|
| 13. | All units also feature a separately excited rheostatic / regenerative brake, which is coupled to the air brake.
|
| 14. | In DC mode, rheostatic braking by self-excitation of traction motors available until 17 km / h.
|
| 15. | The General Electric-powered cars used forced air to cool the rheostatic resistors used for acceleration and dynamic braking.
|
| 16. | This arrangement gives improved control of traction current over conventional rheostatic systems and gives fine control when starting a train.
|
| 17. | The rheostatic braking fades as the speed drops below, and so slow speed braking was always by friction brake.
|
| 18. | In addition to the usual slipper brake, hand brake and rheostatic brake, they had a magnetic runback brake.
|
| 19. | The trains have air-operated ( pneumatic ) and rheostatic brakes, with an emergency stopping distance of 350m at.
|
| 20. | Subsequently, many of the older cars in this class were retrofitted with airbrakes and had their rheostatic braking systems removed.
