  • Abstract
    TO DETERMINE the success of a locomotive application, it is desirable to evaluate the effect on locomotive performance of both system and locomotive constants. In the process of designing an 11,000-volt 25-cycle rectifier locomotive, a generalized graphical method was developed for calculating speed-tractive effort curves, and evaluating relative importance of system and locomotive constants.
