For given maximum axle load tractive efforts of AC. locomotive will be_____________?
Correct answer: B. more than that of D.C. locomotive
- A. less than that of D.C. locomotive
- B. more than that of D.C. locomotive
- C. equal to that of D.C. locomotive
- D. none of the above
Explanation
For the same axle load, AC locomotives can develop greater tractive effort because their traction-control systems provide better adhesion and reduce wheel slip. Hence their tractive effort is generally higher than that of DC locomotives.
