Translations:Rheostatic & Regenerative Brake/4/bg

Rheostatic and regenerative braking, both featured only on some motorized vehicles, do not provide a very powerful braking force for large trains, but can slow them down over time if used tactfully. The effect of this braking type is the highest at high speeds. The lower the speed, the weaker the braking force. At low enough speeds it practically has no effect. To bring a vehicle to a complete stop, the driver must use braking methods that rely on brake shoes.
