Toshiba has completed the first of forty-five AC electric locomotives that have been ordered by the Turkish State Railways (hereinafter called TCDD), and has delivered it to TCDD. This AC electric locomotive was manufactured for heavy load hauling and will be used for both passenger and freight service. It is also a high-performance locomotive, to which the most up-to-date control technology, using microprocessors, has been applied. It uses thyristors to continuously control the phase for the armature and field of the separately-excited traction motors. Furthermore, although this locomotive has rheostat-controlled dynamic braking, the last two locomotives (Nos. 44 and 45) are to be manufactured with both rheostat-controlled and regenerative dynamic braking.
