Re: How Do AC Motors Provide DC Power During Regenerative Braking?

This is not true.

Actually, it is true, but irrelevant.

I was referring to the electrical network's voltage being diverted to a grid of resistors. But that isn't what's happening, which was my misunderstanding.

The power contained in the forward motion of the vehicle is being used to generate electricity which goes into the grid of resistors (or in other circumstances, back into the network or into recharging a battery). And that slows down the train or the Tesla (where the vehicle's power goes into recharging the battery).
