A NEW CONTROL DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES

EIN NEUES STEUERGERAET FUER ELEKTRISCHEN LOKOMOTIVEN

A description of the L 72 control device developed by BBC with DB collaboration. The innovations with this system mean, among other things, that tractive effort can be limited in relation to a given value by the control equipment and by simulating a characteristic curve of the adhesion coefficient. The L 72 device has been fitted on all series BR 111 locomotives since 1975.
