What is the braking resistor of the 10 -ton trolley electric locomotive? What does it have to do with resistor braking?
The function of the braking resistor of the overhead electric locomotive is to quickly consume the regenerative electric energy generated by the braking method during the emergency stop.
Does it sound like something related to regenerative braking? However, it is actually related to resistance braking, and even the name of resistance braking comes from this. Initially, due to technical, material and other reasons, renewable electricity could not be utilized. If the regenerative power is not dealt with in time, it is likely to damage the inverter; feeding it back to the grid will easily cause grid voltage fluctuations. Therefore, resistor braking, which uses braking resistors to process regenerative power, was born. With the advancement of technology, the regenerative electric energy can be fed back to the grid without negative impact, and the regenerative braking will be formed.
