DUAL FREQUENCY ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES OF THE 181103/104 TYPE WITH REGENERATIVE BRAKING

ELEKTRISCHE ZWEIFREQUENZLOKOMOTIVEN 181103/104 MIT NETZBREMSE

The authors describes the layout, control system and regulation of these locomotives together with the working and characteristics of the regenerative brakes. The latter afford the same operational safety as rheostatic brakes. Nevertheless, rheostatic brakes have been preferred for all new locomotives because they are more economical and less complex. Energy recuperation by means of regenerative braking is not the decisive factor.
