Which of the following braking systems on the locomotives is costly ?
Correct answer: A. Regenerative braking on electric locomotives
- A. Regenerative braking on electric locomotives
- B. Vacuum braking on diesel locomotives
- C. Vacuum braking on steam locomotives
- D. All braking systems are equally costly
Explanation
Regenerative braking requires additional control and power-handling equipment so that generated energy can be returned to the supply, making it comparatively costly. Vacuum braking systems are mechanically simpler and cheaper.
