Arrangement of rheostatic brakes on locomotives by means of which traction motor fields are separately excited at low voltage from step-down transformer, primary of which is fed from main transformer; 4 motor fields are connected in series, and braking resistor of fixed value is connected across each motor armature; practical limits and disadvantages.
