The truck design has no bearing on whether dynamic brakes are applied in emergency or not. During a BIE, the emergency contactor disconnects all 600V power from the motors thus disabling the dynamic braking. If the emergency contactors were rewired to allow the dynamic braking to remain in effect while only the motive power were disabled, the the dynamic (or regenerative) braking could assist in stopping the train. |
