You have Dynamic braking then friction kicks in i think with the techs after 5 or 3 miles..

With the older equipment its 10 mph ..

If im correct ..

With the older equipment, friction braking comes in at around 3 mph.

With the R143's there's a difference. When coming to a station stop from regular speed, the friction brakes will kick in around 3 mph. However, if slowing down from regular speed then asking for minimum power, friction braking will be prevalent at speeds less than 8 mph. I speak from experience on working the L line when entering the terminals.
