To make the rheostatic brake operational, the driver needs to disengage the throttle and have the reverser set to the direction the vehicle is moving. The brake is usually operated by a lever that turns TMs into generators, when applied. The electrical circuits in the vehicle get reconfigured, so that the current generated by the TMs is passed through resistors. This slows down the vehicle at the cost of creating heat, dissipated into the atmosphere by powerful fans.
For the rheostatic or regenerative brakes to be operational, {{pll|Throttle|throttle}} should be disengaged and {{pll|Reverser|reverser}} set to the direction the vehicle is moving. The brake is usually operated by a lever that causes electrical circuits in the vehicle to reconfigure, such that they turn {{pll|Traction Motors|traction motors}} into generators. Motion of the vehicle is then converted into electricity.
