dieselelectrical
Diesel-electric refers to a type of diesel engine propulsion system where the diesel engine does not directly drive the propellers or wheels. Instead, the diesel engine powers an electric generator, which then supplies electricity to electric motors that provide the motive power. This system is commonly found in locomotives, ships, and some large vehicles.
The primary advantage of a diesel-electric system is its flexibility. The diesel engine can be operated at
In diesel-electric locomotives, the diesel engine drives a generator, producing electricity that powers traction motors connected
While diesel-electric systems offer significant advantages, they also introduce complexity due to the electrical components. The
