Danos ao Trem de Força Elétrico

Trem de força elétrico refere-se a sistemas elétricos que colocam um veículo em movimento, incluindo baterias, pantógrafos e motores de tração. Danos no trem de força elétrico podem ocorrer devido a colisões, mas principalmente devido à sobrecarga dos sistemas elétricos com corrente excessiva. Em caso de operação inadequada e negligência do amperímetro, o veículo pode ficar imobilizado e pegar fogo.

Damage to such a powertrain subsystem can occur from collisions , but it is much more severe when caused by overloading electrical systems with excessive current , premature reverser operation and traction motor overspeeding .

High electrical powertrain damage can be catastrophic, potentially fully immobilizing the vehicle and setting it on fire.

Small amount of electrical powertrain damage is also accumulated from proper operation of power sources and traction motors, which falls under regular wear and tear. The higher the current passing through traction motors, the more damage they will receive. While this damage cannot be avoided, by operating the machines efficiently it can be reduced to a minimum.
