“Old load regulators in switcher locomotives can be difficult to maintain, durability is a constant issue, and quality spare parts are harder to find,” says ZTR Product Development Manager Dave Brooks. “The ZTR Locomotive ELC replaces old load regulators, while also delivering performance and diagnostic improvements to make a difference in switcher operations.”
The Locomotive ELC is available in a basic excitation control system as well as in an ELC-PEO (Performance Enhance Option) configuration featuring horsepower regulation by throttle, tractive effort improvement using adaptive targeting, intelligent sanding control, and more.
