What is the electric braking of the mining electric locomotive?

Date:2022-05-18

The electric braking of mining electric locomotives is an auxiliary braking method, which uses the control of the electrical circuit of the motor to achieve the effect of auxiliary braking, so no special braking device is required. At the same time, because of its excellent performance, it can help reduce the wear of the brake shoe. It is suitable for braking or decelerating on long transportation distances and road sections with large road slopes, which are especially suitable for open-air locomotives.

But at the same time electric braking also has its disadvantages. Electric braking is an auxiliary braking method and cannot achieve an emergency stop effect. And because of its braking principle, when the vehicle speed is low to a certain value, the electrical braking will fail. At the same time, because of its principle, if the driver's operation is not standardized, the electrical braking may have a certain impact on the motor.

The above is about the electrical braking of electric locomotives.
