In addition to the usual slipper brake, hand brake and rheostatic brake, they had a magnetic runback brake.
12.
The trains have air-operated ( pneumatic ) and rheostatic brakes, with an emergency stopping distance of 350m at.
13.
Subsequently, many of the older cars in this class were retrofitted with airbrakes and had their rheostatic braking systems removed.
14.
With rheostatic braking, the energy generated by the traction motors is dissipated by the resistor grids on the locomotive itself.
15.
Although designed to be operated using airbrakes, most cars in this class were instead built with rheostatic brakes and hand brakes.
16.
Electric braking is either up to 4.5MW rheostatic braking via roof mounted resistors, or up to 7.2MW regenerative braking.
17.
Two of them supply variable speed and voltage power for cooling fans for the traction motors, transformer, rheostatic brake, locomotive main electronics block.
18.
The locomotives would also need major alteration such as the fitting of rheostatic brakes, as used on the E O class, and multiple-unit equipment.
19.
The RAIB report concluded that the fire originated in an underfloor plywood compartment which housed both 24 V and 650 V electrical equipment along with rheostatic braking resistors.
20.
This feature saves emissions and fuel consumption if the batteries and capacitors are full, a roof-mounted set of resistors provides the remainder or additional rheostatic braking.
